[db-wg] java.xml

Dear Michael,

The javax.xml.parsers package is part of the SUN Java Runtime Library, 
and is included in all recent releases of SUN JDK and SUN JRE, starting 
from version 1.4.
You probably didn't install an external java runtime on your system. 
Some distributions have gcj installed by default, which has 
compatibility issues with SUN's java runtime.

I would recommend installing the SUN JRE or JDK from your distribution, 
or, if that's not possible, go to http://java.sun.com and download the 
latest version of the SUN JRE or JDK. We are using the 1.5 SDK from SUN 
to build whoisserver on our systems.

Kind regards,
