That (1.0b2 release from xml-commons disribution site[1]) should work
for you. The resolver.jar file is in /java/build/resolver.jar in the
distribution.

One thing to note is that the package names in the xml-commons
distribution are different from the original Sun package names.

So, if you're working from the info/examples in Norm's "XML Entity and
URI Resolvers" article[2], everywhere it says "com.sun.resolver.*"
you need to substitute "org.apache.xml.resolver.*".

For example, to use the xml-commons resolver classes with Saxon, you
need to feed Saxon the following flags:

  -x org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader
  -y org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader
  -r org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.CatalogResolver

And if you're using a CatalogManager.properties file with a
catalog-class-name line in it, you'll need to use:

  catalog-class-name=org.apache.xml.resolver.Resolver

Hope that helps,

P.S. Note to anybody who's doing packaging for Linux distros: As far
as I know, the xml-commons stuff can now be packaged and distributed.
