I see c:\project\csfbholt\lib\xerces.jar on your CLASSPATH. Try to remove it from CLASSPATH and start IDE again. This could be old version of XML parser.
I am not sure about xerces.jar. Error is thrown at crimson factory: org.apache.crimson.jaxp.DocumentBuilderImpl. On the other hand the xerces.jar may be so old that it contains DOM level 1 interfaces. Anyway clean your classpath and customize it per Java application. Gain is better performance and less erros at least.
VERIFIED
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
