XMLmind XML Editor is a true multi-platform software. It's code is 100% Java. XXE v4 runs unchanged on any Java 1.5 platform. (XXE v4 used to run on any Java 1.4 platform.) Therefore it does not run on your Mac, I'm afraid that it is because your first generation MacBook does not seem to be a true Java 1.5 platform. > > The diagnosis was the same: I must have an exotic XML parser etc. But > that was not the case.

I fact, we don't use the W3C DOM at all. The error message you reported looks like JAXP not finding any suitable XML parser despite the fact latest and greatest Xerces is bundled with XMLmind XML Editor.
