[jdom-interest] Error with JDom?

[Chad LaJoie]

Every time I try to use the SAXBuilder I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 
org.xml.sax.Attributes: method getQName(I)Ljava/lang/String; not found
         at org.jdom.input.SAXHandler.startElement(SAXBuilder.java:727)

While the FAQ address the problem of method not found errors the fix 
described there (placing your parser before any other parsers in the class 
path) does not work here.  The first four items in my class path are 
rt.jar, tools.jar, xerces.jar, then jdom.jar

I find that if I use the DOMBuilder that this doesn't throw these 
exceptions.  Any clue?
