Hi,

Might I suggest you have a look at Merlot - it is a generic editor that
handles any XML document and corresponding DTD. It produces a nice Swing
interface for editing and is open source...

A further advantage of Merlot is that it allows one to write their own
custom editors for a particular DTD (plugin). It may save you a lot of
time/effort.

Cheers,
Justin.

I don't have the reason for the error, but I might suggest an alternate
route.  There's now a DTD parser available that just reads DTD information,
which sounds like all you need:

I know there are/were ways to read DTDs through Xerces, but they seem to
fluctuate from version to version.
