Hi Malcom,

Some people reported problems using the Xerces that came with ea-3.  The 
new version 2.X series Xerces is now included with ea-4.  You might want to 
give it a shot.

I should warn you, however, I was browsing code the other day, and it 
looked like somebody (I don't know when or who) commented out the entire 
Reverse Engineering section of DBTool, in particular the field type 
mappings.  I have no idea if it was because it was buggy or what.  I 
haven't had a chance to look into it yet, although it's definitely on my 
todo list.
