#1 Provider for SAXParserFactory cannot be found

[Martin Jackson]

I performed the following steps to install the SVG
Eclipse plug in

1) download batik-plugin410.zip
2) unzipp it in my eclipse directory (made sure eclipse
wasn't running)
3) launched Eclipse with a clean switch
./eclipse -clean
4) Open the SVG perspective
4) Created a new project "SVG Examples Project"
5) Tried to open anne.svg in the SVG Browser
And I get the following error:

I am running Eclipse 3.1 Milestone 5a, Java 1.5.0_02-b09
from Sun, and Debian Linux (installed from a Knoppix
Live CD and updated with apt-get for about a year.)

I have also tested with the same Eclipse and Java
releases under Win2000 and I get the same error.

All the jars listed in the
plugins/com.batik_4.1.0/plugin.xml are in the correct
place (including xerces_2_5_0.jar and xml-apis.jar)
except batik-slideshow.jar.
I couldn't find that jar file anywhere.
