[jdom-interest] Unicode & JDOM

[Elliotte Rusty Harold]

Hi all,

I am writing a program that transforms Java code into a flavor of XML.
Part of Character.java are lots Unicode characters. For example, on line 81:

public static final char   MIN_VALUE = '\u0000';


The null is not a legal XML character although it is a legal 
character in Java string literals. It cannot be used in XML 
documents. This has nothing to do with JDOM. It is a deliberate 
design decision in XML.
