You are missing a JAR file from your classpath. Following line tells it "loud and clear"

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/stream/util/XMLEventConsumer

Try to google that and solve which JAR file you need to add or replace.

I know that it is missing a library !!

which one is the million dollar question! I am amazed the examples do not have directions!
