I found a nifty XML editor that uses JDK 1.1.8 and Swing 1.1.1.   Both of those
have packages in the current pkgsrc.  I created a pkg for it this weekend and
just submitted it moments ago.

You may also want to look at Xerces from Apache for your validating parser.  The
C++ and Java versions are in pkgsrc.
