[jdom-interest] How to get the XML Decl with JDOM?

[Fred Clewis]

Alex,

As far as I can tell the Xerces2 Java Parser 2.0.0 (beta3) does not support
the Locator2 extensions.
You recall, I was looking for the getEncoding() method.

Also, I don't even see it in the SAX 2.0 r2 prerelease 2.  Although, both
seem to blab about it in the API docs.

Assuming I did find it somewhere, I need to better understand the ways that
I can alter my XML processing tool stack.

1. JDOM ships with a Xerces version. Is it advisable to upgrade that Xerces
version?

2. A particular Xerces version includes SAX packages.  Is it advisable to
upgrade the Sax version?

thanks for your advise,

Fred Clewis
