[jdom-interest] Xerces getQName problem?

[Frank Cohen]

Hmmm... I'm not sure I understand your message.

The command this user is using to run the Load utility includes:

-classpath otherstuff;.\lib\xerces.jar;

which is a reference to the xerces.jar file that comes with JDOM B7. Are you
saying the IBM Java VM uses SAX 2.0 beta?
