I'm using the Eclipse plugin for Google App Engine and I'm having a strange issue with a Xerces dependency. On of my classes depends on the Apache Xerces JAR which I have added to the project's classpath. This however, triggers an error when starting the Jetty app server:
WARNING: failed
com.google.apphosting.utils.jetty.DevAppEngineWebAppContext@6efde050
{/,/Users/lenni/dev/gate/war}
javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider
org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl not found
When I remove the xercesImpl.jar from my classpath jetty starts fine, however then my classes don't compile anymore since the dependency is missing.
This very much sound like this issue, however I tried switching to JRE 1.6 and still no joy.
