Bug#500909: libxpp3-java: includes javax.xml.namespace.QName class

[Marcus Better]

Package: libxpp3-java
Version: 1.1.3.4.O-3
Severity: serious

The xpp3.jar file contains the QName class from JAXP. This breaks the
GroovyWS web service client, since it ends up loading the class into
two different classloaders (the bootstrap class loader of the JRE and
the Groovy class loader which has xpp3.jar on its classpath). This
leads to the following error:

Caught: java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation: when resolving field "DATETIME" the class loader (instance of org/codehaus/groovy/tools/RootLoader) of the referring class, javax/xml/datatype/DatatypeConstants, and the class loader (instance of <bootloader>) for the field's resolved type, javax/xml/namespace/QName, have different Class objects for that type                             

Note: the QName.java file from the xpp3 sources has the following
comment at the top:

 "* NOTE: copied from Apache AXIS until QName is really standard in some JDK version ..."
