[jdom-interest] JDOM 1.0 beta7 release candidate [eg]

[Alastair Rodgers]

I've just downloaded beta7 and have experienced no problems so far. Just a
minor point though: the version listed in info.xml is still beta 6, which is
displayed with "java -jar jdom.jar". 

Thanks for a great product!

> * Support for JAXP
> * Support for XSLT
> * A correctly implemented entity model
> * A vastly more robust SAXBuilder (with a public SAXHandler,

> * More reliable building and outputting
> * A convenient detach() method for all tree objects
> * The long-desired setName() and setNamespace() methods on Element
> * Machine-readable version information in META-INF
> * Several significant performance improvements
> * Many bugs fixed
