I don't think so. The version you imported is the one from the w3c

It seems like this might be necessary :-( In theory IKVM should already
support it by setting -Xbootclasspath to the xerces jars. Can you try
that Richard?

At FOSDEM I will explain how .NET solves this (and is far superior to
Java wrt to versioning in general).
