I also did a test that removing the xerces???.jar from xml-xindice/java/lib directory. It doesn't seem affect the build nor basic query (I didn't test the RPC staff though).
Is this because I am using j2sdk1.4.1, which already has xerces? If the problem Kevin mentioned solved, will it still be necessary for Xindice to be shipped with Xerces???.jar?

It seems that (http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/parser.html) you should be able to change that easily, by making this configurable (xindice config) and using the configured implementation in the code.

However, we have found a business need to remove the Xerces dependency and figured the project could benefit.
