Java XML in SuSE 9.3

Hi, I now have two examples of Java programs that don't work because of missing or misconfigured XML support in the SuSE-supplied Java packages. I'm seeing it with Tomcat, as I reported earlier, and now with XML-dependent plug-ins for jEdit. I have every conceivably relevant package installed and I tried re-installing Xerces-j2. Has anyone else experienced such problems? If you have, how did you solve them? Thanks. Randall Schulz
