[jdom-interest] collection error

[Sastry, Chellury]

Friends,

I am new to JDOM and I have been using JDOM 6 (with Java 2) in developing
one of our projects. Is it the case that JDOM 6 uses collections API defined
in Java 1.1? For example, I import

java.util.*

that has the collections API. However, the following code snippet generates
a run-time classnotfound exception (assume rootElement was define
somewhere):

List           elemList = rootElement.getChildren();
Iterator      elemIt = elemList.iterator();

while(elemIt.hasNext())
{
    // some processing
}

However, when I downloaded the 1.1collections package from SUN, and the
above code snippet is re-written as

com.sun.java.util.collections.List.List            elemList =
rootElement.getChildren();
com.sun.java.util.collections.List.Iterator      elemIt =
elemList.iterator();

while(elemIt.hasNext())
{
    // some processing
}

There is no run-time exception and code runs just fine.

Does JDOM 7 using the java2 collections define in java.util.*?
