Steps to Reproduce (be specific):

See attached zip(XML4JTest.zip) file. The file contains the ibm alpha
works distribution of the xerces xml parser as well as 2 batch files
that run one of the sample programs provided (by IBM). For some reason,
running the example class with JDK1.4 always throws a class not found
error even though the class is present. The same code executes without
error under JDK 1.3.0.
