Java error Message when importing xml to frameMaker 8

[Roger Shuttleworth]

To verify what Java the machine has, type java -version at a command prompt. If it doesn't return the version number, either it's not installed or it's corrupted and a reinstall is in order.

Subject: Java error Message when importing xml to frameMaker 8

Do you have a good Java runtime installed?  I'm guessing Maker needs Java to run 
  Xerces (funny, I always assumed they used the C++ version).  Somehow it can't 
  find a runtime.  So you need to verify that you can run other Java programs on 
  your system.  (Just grasping at straws here, but that's the first thing I'd 
  try.)  If you do have a JRE properly installed, I would worry about version 
  compatibility.  I thought Java wasn't supposed to break backward compatibility, 
  but maybe that's your problem -- too new of a JRE???
  
  That's the area I'd consider.  If all else fails, try re-installing jave.  If 
  that fails, try re-installing Maker???
  
  By all means, try editing your Registry, but NEVER tell anybody I suggestat that 
  is a good idea.  I will categorically deny it.
