[jdom-interest] How to find out which parser is being used

[Christian Peter]

Hi David,

thanks for this hint, I'll try this. But obviously (since nobody 
answered) there is no way to check for the currently used parser 
from within the application (like DOMBuilder.getParser)? I would 
feel much better if I could do this check and not relying on some 
settings somewhere outside the app.
