You may be missing JAXB.

According to the README you need:
lib/jaxb/activation.jar
lib/jaxb/jaxb-api.jar
lib/jaxb/jaxb-impl.jar
lib/jaxb/jsr173_1.0_api.jar

According to the README at time of release it was last tested with JAXB 2.03,
which can be obtained here: https://jaxb.dev.java.net/2.0.3/
Decompressing/installing JAXB2_20061013.jar gives you all the 4 required libraries.

I don't know about compatibility with newer JAXB builds, I havn't tested them.

IAIK XKMS currently only runs with Java 1.5, see mailing list archive for
the Java 1.6 patch.

The JTSS 0.2 release has a small bug, you need to additionally install
iaik_jtss_tcs.jar (and add it to the classpath) for your PrivacyCA to work.
You may want to read the PCA install experiences of Carolin in the mailing
list archive.

Note that this is a proof-of-concept setup. This is experimental
software with lots of sharp edges... :-)


Hope that helps,
