[jdom-interest] Beta5 candidate

[Jason Hunter]

I'm home all this week, and I propose we ship JDOM Beta5 ASAP before I
head out for another two weeks overseas.  So, do we have anything
pressing that would hold up the beta?  All I can think of is maybe the
getChild/getChildElement decision.  Is there anything else?

The last little detail then is how to structure the .zip/.tar.gz file. 
Specifically, where do we put the jdom.jar file and the src, and how do
we deal with the JDK 1.1 custom build.  One possibility looks like this:

Basically, clone the daily snapshot minus the "CVS" directories, and
include build/jdom.jar so people don't have to type "build".  This has
the nice advantage that it's ready for people to do new development, and
a "build" command replaces the jdom.jar we provided, so people are
unlikely to have classpath bugs where they point at the distributed JAR
and not the built JAR.  

For JDK 1.1 users, we need a solution too.  Maybe have
build/jdom-jdk11.jar?  The problem there is that a "build11" doesn't
replace that JAR.  Maybe we could have build11/jdom.jar and let
"build11" build to build11 (requiring some build.xml rework)?  Other
ideas from JDK 1.1 users?
