[jdom-interest] JDOM problem with JDK 1.4Beta2

[Glenn Rowe]

Hi - I feel this must be a FAQ, but couldn't find anything in the
archives, so here goes...

I've just downloaded JDOM and tried to run the sample program
SAXBuilderDemo.java, that comes with the JDOM release. 
If I compile and run it using JDK 1.3.1 (on Windows 2000)
everything works fine, so I must have the classpath set up properly.

The command line that I used was:

java SAXBuilderDemo web.xml

where "web.xml" was an XML file that was in the samples directory.

However, if I use JDK1.4 Beta2, I get the following error message
(below). I have tried rebuilding jdom.jar using JDK1.4 but the
same error still occurs. Is this a known problem, and is there a
workaround? Thanks.
