setValidating(false) will not prevent DTD validation, but you can set http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd feature to false. I think is a Xerces-only feature, though, it may not be recognized by other parsers. DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); factory.setValidating(false); //factory.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities", false); // it doesn't work factory.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd", false); DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder(); Document doc = parser.parse(getClass().getResourceAsStream("ennote.xml")); Typical DTD not found exception stacktrace java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Users/ecerulm/NetBeansProjects/en4j/NBPlatformApp/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd (No such file or directory) at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:106) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:66) at sun.net.www.protocol.file.FileURLConnection.connect(FileURLConnection.java:70) at sun.net.www.protocol.file.FileURLConnection.getInputStream(FileURLConnection.java:161) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLEntityManager.setupCurrentEntity(XMLEntityManager.java:653) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLEntityManager.startEntity(XMLEntityManager.java:1315) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLEntityManager.startDTDEntity(XMLEntityManager.java:1282) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDTDScannerImpl.setInputSource(XMLDTDScannerImpl.java:283) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentScannerImpl$DTDDriver.dispatch(XMLDocumentScannerImpl.java:1193) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentScannerImpl$DTDDriver.next(XMLDocumentScannerImpl.java:1090) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentScannerImpl$PrologDriver.next(XMLDocumentScannerImpl.java:1003) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentScannerImpl.next(XMLDocumentScannerImpl.java:648) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.java:510) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(XML11Configuration.java:807) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(XML11Configuration.java:737) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XMLParser.parse(XMLParser.java:107) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.DOMParser.parse(DOMParser.java:225) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderImpl.parse(DocumentBuilderImpl.java:283) at javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder.parse(DocumentBuilder.java:124) at com.rubenlaguna.en4j.NoteContentViewModule.NoteContentViewTopComponent.resultChanged(NoteContentViewTopComponent.java:141) ... ... http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/features.html#nonvalidating.load-external-dtd http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/features.html#external-parameter-entities http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=284209&forumID=34 http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200101/msg01055.html

Just add run.args.extra=--nosplash to the project.properties file

My Compaq Evo has two internal speakers, the PC speaker (the one responsible for beeps, etc) and another conventional loudspeaker connected internally to the sound board. One would expect that conecting the headphones to the headphones jack will automatically shut off/disable the internal speaker but it doesn’t. You must first go to the Volume Control at System -> Preferences -> Volume Control and then click Edit->Preferences and enable the Headphone Jack Sense checkbox. I wonder why it is not enabled by default.
