[jdom-interest] large files

[Jon Baer]

Speaking of large XML files, has anyone before suggested any ideas as to a progress
listener interface for builders?  Would this need to be implemented in
org.xml.sax.InputSource somewhere?  I am working on an open source server which uses
large XML data but it does not use JDOM and Id like to fit it in but Id like to let
the user know where the builder is @.  Any ideas?
