I'm certainly not sure of this, but if I had to guess I'd say it's 
more likely the bug is in Swing than Xerces. Can you provide a test 
case that demonstrates this bug without using Swing? e.g. just 
serializing a simple string that contains e with accent acute hard 
coded into the source code using a \u escape?
