Hi,
I can confirm this.
SAXBuilder uses, by default, JAXP which is documented to have this
problem (http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.6/jaxb/ReleaseNotes.html)

in particular :

Compilations of sufficiently large and/or complex schemas may fail
with java.lang.StackOverflowError. Try working around this problem by
increasing the native stack size. For example, to increase the stack
size to 2 megabytes:

    java -Xss2m

If you run out of memory, try increasing the maximum memory size. For
example, to increase the maximum memory to 128 megabytes:

    java -Xmx128m
