I ran into that recently while working on another part of DSpace.  I
don't know why the symbol is no longer available, but I think DSpace
shouldn't be using that anyway.  That class is internal to Xerces and,
I am told, deprecated.  There are reports that the standard JRE
version is faster, too.

I was able to make it compile by replacing

-import org.apache.xerces.impl.dv.util.Base64;

with

+import java.util.Base64;

I haven't tested the result yet.

You will need to sort the new import into the other java.util imports
in its proper order or Checkstyle will complain.

If the change works for you, please let us know.
