Thank you, that did help :). Indeed I had forgotten to check out the 
XMLTooling code, as it compiled well and I supposed that it wouldn't be 
modified.
Now I no longer get any errors with the openSAML code either.

As far as my implementation code is concerned, it is equivalent to the 
example that appears in the openSAML 2 user's manual. on the wiki page. 
However, where it still gets stuck is at the 
unmarshallerFactory.getUnmarshaller(metadataRoot) method, as it 
eventually tries to fetch the appropriate unmarshaller from the 
'unmarshallers' Map, which is empty...
Is this map going to be populated with the unmarshaller entities 
corresponding to SAML 2 metadata types? Or are the developers supposed 
to do this manually by means of the registerUnmarshaller(QName key, 
Unmarshaller unmarshaller) method in UnmarshallerFactory? (this would 
seem like a lot of work...)

After having manually registered the EntityDescriptorUnmarshaller in 
this way, the unmarshall() method encountered the same problem while 
trying to find the EntityDescriptorBuilder from the 'builders' Map, 
which is empty as well. I also inserted code to register this builder, 
but then of course the same happens while trying to unmarshall all the 
child elements of the given document.
Should all these unmarshallers and builders really be registered 
manually or are they to be found in the corresponding maps at some point?

Thanks a lot for your help.

(And thank you too Tom, I will take a look at the GridShib code you 
mentioned to see if there is anything that could apply to the project I 
work on (eduGAIN AAI infrastructure in GEANT2)).
