Compile failed when running a lucene example

Question

After fixing the error like tools.jar and junit.jar not found (thanks to stack overflow) I tried to compile the example given in "lucene in action" book. But when I compiled I am getting this error. Can you tell what error I am getting and how to fix it?

Tt is complaining about your jar which contains HtmlDocumentImpl not being on the classpath. Maybe xerces? A specific version. The JUnits are a warning that it the Assert which comes from org.framework. You can update your JUnit jar file or leave it as is since that isnt the cause of the error.

The errors are due to a jar not being on your classpath. which in my guess is xerces
