[jdom-interest] can't install JDOM beta 8 with JDK1.2.2

[Luca Passani]

Hallo, I want to play with JDom. I downloaded the latest
package and tried to install according to instructions.
Unfortunately, it doesn't build out of the box
as one might expect (JDOM beta 9, Win2k, JDK 1.2.2)

There are conflicts among classes.

The FAQ on jdom.org is not helping.

Any ideas?

thank you

Luca
