  Returns:
    a SAXParserFactory to use
    `BuildException`

    Ant 1.5

### newParserFactory

    public static javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory newParserFactory()
                                                               throws BuildException

  Returns a new parser factory instance.

    `BuildException`

### getSystemId

    public static java.lang.String getSystemId(java.io.File file)

  This is a best attempt to provide a URL.toExternalForm() from a file URL. Some parsers like Crimson choke on uri that are made of backslashed paths (ie windows) as it is does not conform URI specifications.

  Parameters:
    `file` - the file to create the system id from.
  Returns:
    the systemid corresponding to the given file.
