I totally agree!

This class will be used by
./src/java/org/xmlBlaster/util/JAXPFactory.java
and
./src/java/org/xmlBlaster/util/Global.java

Therefore I'd like just to add it to the distributen since it is not
included in JDK 1.3.

right. build.sh is adding it to CLASSPATH and there it is available for
compiling, but not for running.

The funny thing is, even if this file is removed from the directory, the
build dist runs fine, but the starting of the xmlBlaster stucks.

Again: adding it to the path solves the problem. I'd go for it.
Adding xml-apis.jar to the unjar-part of build dist seems to halp as well.
