#15 Requires org.apache.xerces for Eclipse 3.0.1

[Exquitus]

complete failure

Using the Eclipse update fails because it requires
org.apache.xerces for this plugin.

Needs repair or published workaround.

It seems, that org.apache.xerces plugin was a
part of Eclipse 2.0 but it is no more shipped with Eclipse 3.0.1.

In Eclipse 3.0.1 the Web Application Plugin 2.0.0 neither can
be installed through Eclipse update nor can run if you install it
manually.

I have found the files for the xerces plugin (see below).
Installing them does not solve the update issue, but allows
the manually installed plugin to run.

So, here is the recipe:

WORKAROUND
--------------
1. Go to
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextech.cgi/org.eclipse.cme/
contributions/org.apache.xerces/

2. Download the following files:
about.htm
plugin.properties
plugin.xml
xercesImpl.jar
xmlParserAPIs.jar

3. Create a folder in eclipse plugin directory (e.g.
\eclipse\plugin\org.apache.xerces_4.0.13) and copy the files
there.

The rest is as usual,
4. Download webapp 2.0.0 from sourceforge.net, unpack it
creating a folder in the plugins directory. (Re)start eclipse.

You will see that plugin is working in the following ways:
- go to Help > Help Contents.
"WebApp Plug-in User Guide" should be there.
- go to File > New > Project.
The list of "Java" projects should include "WebApp
project", "WebApp project from WAR"
