Summary: Conflict with WTP 0.7, Xerces 2.7.0

Initial Comment:
Eclipse WTP XML validator is broken when Spindle is installed. This 
is apparently a conflict between Xerces 4.0.13, which is installed as 
a Spindle dependency, and Xerces 2.7.0 installed with WTP.

The following error was reported when parsing web.xml with the WTP 
XML editor:
An internal error occurred during: "Processing Dirty Regions".

Error log shows:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 
org.apache.xerces.xni.XMLResourceIdentifier.getNamespace()Ljava/
lang/String;
at 
org.eclipse.wst.xml.core.internal.validation.XMLValidator._internalRe
solveEntity(XMLValidator.java:348)...

There are no errors after uninstalling Spindle.

Using Eclipse 3.1, WTP 0.7, Spindle 3.2.2 on Mac OS X with Apple 
JDK 1.5.0 (bug also verified with Apple JDK 1.4.2).

A bug report has been filed with WTP.

I have finished renaming the xerces plugin and rebuilding
Spindle to avoid the conflict with WTP 0.7

###### IMPORTANT ########

Merely installing Spindle 3.2.3 will not make the problem go
away if it currently exists. That's because the old
org.apache.xerces_4.0.13 plugin will still be there to pooch
WTP.

##### Recommended ######

Install WTP 0.7 and Spindle 3.2.3 into a fresh install of
Eclipse 3.1


#### HARD WAY ######

Update Spindle to 3.2.3 and then manually remove the
conflicting plugin...

eclipse/plugins/org.apache.xerces_4.0.13

and then (re)start Eclipse with the -clean flag on the
command line.

- last word - Spindle 3.2.3 will be available shortly after
this note is posted (in the usual places).

Did a test and renaming org.apache.xerces_4.0.13 to
org.apache.xerces.spindle_4.0.13 does the trick.

Interesting, I downloaded and installed the WTP all-in-one
and *then* installed Spindle.. guess what? WTP works fine
but Spindle is broken!

WTP bug id is 106724, "Warning when building a dynamic web project"

I should have said "A comment has been added" rather than "A bug 
report has been filed," as 106724 already existed. 106724 mentions the 
"org.apache.xerces.xni.XMLResourceIdentifier.getNamespace()" method 
error and sounds exactly like what I was experiencing, so I'm  guessing 
that it's the same issue.

If I don't see any followup on WTP 106724 in a few days, I will submit a 
new and more specific bug report with them.

could you please add the WTP bug id here? Seems to me that
WTP may have goofed and not set the version it needs for xerces.

I will change the version number on the xerces plugin that
ships with Spindle to remove the conflict. Will appear in
Spindle 3.2.3
