[jdom-interest] jdom and dom4j

[Jason Hunter]

Legally we weren't allowed to progress JDOM as an open source JSR.  So
"Step 1" had to be to change that.  See
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/news.html#0326.1 for everything I've done
on that front as Apache's representative.

As of *tonight* we've finalized the legal agreement with Sun, and
Apache's chairman is signing the appropriate legal documents.  (You all
are the first non-Apache/non-Sun people to hear that.)

So now with that 10 hours per week obligation getting off my plate and
the legalese cleared away, we might actually make some progress as a
JSR.
