[jdom-interest] org.jdom.JDOMException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

[Jason Hunter]

The cause is probably the reflection work being done behind the
newInstance() call.  Are you using the jaxen version that came with the
latest CVS copy of JDOM?  If that doesn't fix it, then send in the full
stack trace so we can take a look.
