I tried on the trunk. I couldn't get xalan to be on the bootclasspath as
byte code (not even with java.ext.dirs, so we probably do something
wrong there) so you actually need to build rhug, which is huge and slow.
So we really want to fix and integrate GNU JAXP asap.
It seems to startup till:

java.lang.VerifyError: verification failed at PC 9 in org.eclipse.ui.internal.PerspectiveBarNewContributionItem:<init>((Lorg.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchWindow;)V): uninitialized object in local variable

So you probably need to disable the verifier on the trunk.

Cheers,
