I don't recall the details (it's been a while since I compiled and released 
XMLC 2.1 :-) but it's quite possible that I did compile with 1.4. The error 
you're getting certainly indicates that I did...

Now, XMLC doesn't use any 1.4 specific features and compiles with JDK 1.3 
without any problems. If you can access CVS repositories, I'd recommend that 
you check out the latest sources from XMLC's anonymous CVS (Instructions are 
at http://debian-sf.objectweb.org/cvs/?group_id=49) and compile it yourself. 
The build is pretty much self-contained, the only external dependencies are a 
JDK and ant. 

By using the latest CVS, you get some additional benefits over the 2.1 
version, namely
- On-the-fly document reloading
- XMLC coexists with newer Xerces versions

Hope this helps,

Richard
