This shouldn't matter. Xerces has its own javac [1] task which prevents the build from clashing with the classes in the JDK. It's fine to use JDK 1.4 and above for compilation. The error Peter got probably means he's missing the build tools (i.e. Xerces-J-tools.2.9.0.zip) or they weren't extracted into the directory where the source was extracted.
Whatever the issue is, if it's not working with the distributed binaries I doubt rebuilding the parser from source is going to help.
