dbus-java-bin's CreateInterface utility fails with parser error

[Mark Clarke]

According to the documentation for the CreateInterface utility of dbus-java the following command should generate a java source file for the appropriate interface.

"CreateInterface --session org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications"

Instead of getting a generated file I get the error below. (This happens for any service and any interface that I select, not just the service/interface given in the example below.)

"[Fatal Error] introspect.dtd:1:3: The markup declarations contained or pointed to by the document type declaration must be well-formed.
