[jdom-interest] Stack & Threads

[David D. Lucas]

I noticed in several classes JDOM uses Stack which is JDK 1.1 type that 
extends Vector.  Seeing that no one is recommending use of JDOM between 
threads, is this a potential synchronization hotspot with the constant 
locking and unlocking when using the stack?

Is there a way to migrate over to JDK 1.2 collections and use the 
ArrayList instead?

Also, I noticed some thread access checking code in ContentList and 
wondered if it works or should even be there, again based on the 
comments that we should not be using JDOM between threads concurrently.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Dave
