Weird! I thought crimson.jar/jaxp.jar were included in rt.jar for jsk 1.4!!

I am trying a Wrox Books Example (Chapter 2 in Professional Java XML), and if I do this:

java BookMain

I get this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.parseInternal(Parser2.java:524)

at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.parse(Parser2.java:305)

at org.apache.crimson.parser.XMLReaderImpl.parse(XMLReaderImpl.java:433)

at javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser.parse(SAXParser.java:346)

at wrox.book.BookMain.main(BookMain.java:34)

But if I do this:

java -Xbootclasspath:D:\jaxp\jaxp-1.1\crimson.jar;D:\jaxp\jaxp-1.1\jaxp.jar;D:\jdk1.4\jre\lib\rt.jar BookMain

Then it works!!!

What's up with that? Is there a later version of crimson in jaxp1.1 than jdk1.4? Is there a known bug?
