[jdom-interest] JDOM for production

[Alex Rosen]

We use plenty of JDOM in our newly-shipping IDE, and it works great. There's
only one current bug that we've had to deal with, and the workaround is
simple (see
http://www.servlets.com/archive/servlet/ReadMsg?msgId=151691&listName=jdom-i
nterest). Early on (6-12 months ago) we ran into a couple of bugs, which we
fixed and submitted patches for. Now they're not bugs anymore. You can feel
more confident using beta open-source software, because you can always fix
bugs yourself, instead of having to beg for a new release from the vendor.

[Shameless plug: SilverStream eXtend Workbench makes J2EE and Web services
development easy, and it's free for a limited time. Check it out at
