[jdom-interest] collection error

[Ian Lea]

JDOM can run with java1.1, with the extra collections package,
or java 1.2+ with the java.util.* collections stuff.  Sounds 
like you should be using the 1.2 version but have built JDOM
for 1.1.  See the file README.txt at the top level of the B7
directory tree (and probably with B6 as well but I don't have
that any more).  Best to use B7 unless there is good reason to
stick with B6.
