I am trying to debug (F11 on Eclipse) a GUI application that I have inherited, but while the application is working fine (minus the small fix I need to apply) outside of the Eclipse IDE, it throws the following exception when starting from Eclipse (either F11 or Ctrl + F11):

My initial search on this subject showed that the dom4j library might be missing , but adding it to pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sourceforge.saxon</groupId>
<artifactId>saxon</artifactId>
<version>9.1.0.8</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>dom4j</groupId>
<artifactId>dom4j</artifactId>
<version>1.6.1</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Solved the problem not .
Any idea why I get this exception ( only when starting from Eclipse ) and how to solve this problem?
BTW, saxson , dom4j . dom4j 1.6.1, , pom.xml :
<dependency>
<groupId>dom4j</groupId>
<artifactId>dom4j</artifactId>
<version>1.6.1</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
