Don't know if this helps but apache distribute the crimson release which is
a JAXP 1.1 compliant parser. It works with ant1.3 as I have used it to build
tomcat. I have written some ports that cover these for personal use but I
couldn't see the point of submitting yet more, as there have already been
about 4 submitted for ant.
http://xml.apache.org/dist/crimson
Though personally I would rather see an Ant port that doesn't create another
directory in /usr/local but a port would certainly be better than no port.
