These classes are included in libgcj-$version.jar.

They provide the implementations for the org.xml.sax and org.w3c.dom
packages. They are included in GNU jaxp too. The important parts in
javax.xml parts where never merged from GNU jaxp because of copyright
reasons and bloat issues (1).
I thinks it really time to rethink this. Users want/need direct XML
support and dont wanna hassle with installing extra stuff.
