Castor seems like a promising alternative, and our company has toyed 
around with it in the past.  However I run into other issues when I try 
to use it with the complex ( large, lots and lots of external schema 
references ) Schemas.

Version 0.9.3 - As the parser traverses the imported schemas, the 
location of the schema is managed by concatenating the next schemas 
relative path with the last schemas relative path.  So if there are a 
lot of schemas being referenced then the location of the file becomes 
very, very long ( say 500+ or 1000+ characters, maybe more, it spits 
out a file path about 20 lines long for me... ) and the file system 
eventually will not return the file.  Runtime error is file not found, 
but by copying and pasting the path it is using by hand, the OS gives 
me a file name to large error.  So no go with that version.

Version 0.9.5.2 - The latest version stops before it even gets started. 
  Somewhere our complex schema structure must be causing an infinite 
loop for the castor execution.  Every time I run this version I get a 
StackOverflowError.  Increasing the stack size as much as the OS will 
allow does not stop the error.

So still a no go.. At any rate, thank you all for your help.
