[jdom-interest] JDK 1.4beta1 issue

[Chris Burkey]

Hi All,

Here is an FYI related to JDK 1.4 beta1 and XML parsing.

The bug is in here: XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(...) and will cause 
you to receive a class not found exception. Even if you DO have xerces in 
the classpath.

Here are the relevant details and work around:

The good news is that, in recent versions of JDOM (SAXBuilder), 
XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(...) is no longer the default way to load 
the parser. Thus JDOM is not affected by the bug.
