Well, I didn't get very far, unfortunately...  Here's the exception:

nu.xom.XMLException: org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup.Parser does not support the 
entity resolution features XOM requires.
        at nu.xom.Builder.<init>(Unknown Source)
        at nu.xom.Builder.<init>(Unknown Source)
        at nu.xom.Builder.<init>(Unknown Source)
...
Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException: Can't change feature 
http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities

Thanks for the info.

Bye !
