The problem is that IBM 1.4.1 bundles xerces.jar, which masks the xerces that 
is shipped with Eclipse.  In IBM's xerces, the method DOMBuilder.setFeature() 
that we depend on for parsing manifest files is not found and hence the 
exception.
Until this defect is resolved, I advise you to use Sun's 1.4.x
