I've created a GWT project using Eclipse which was working perfectly (I was able to run it in both Hosted Mode and on Google App Engine) until I tried to import the Gears API for Google Web Toolkit. After adding the following line to my java source file:
import com.google.gwt.gears.client.geolocation.Geolocation;
I get the following error when I try to compile:

WARNING: failed com.google.apphosting.utils.jetty.DevAppEngineWebAppContext@1c7d682{/,C:\Documents and Settings\Geoff Denning\workspace\TaskPath\war}
javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl not found
