[jdom-interest] Xalan Clarification

[Ian Lea]

It probably doesn't much matter which version of Xalan you use, but it can
get very confusing, especially since JDK 1.4 ships with an old version,
although perhaps later than the version that comes with JDOM B8.

Since you know about the environment check perhaps you have also seen the stuff
in the Xalan FAQ at http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/faq.html#faq-N100CB

Unless Tomcat 4 and/or JWSDP do something clever I think you should put the
version of Xalan that you want to use, and perhaps a matching copy of Xerces
or your favourite parser, in the endorsed directory. On my system, linux and
java 1.4.1_02-b06, that is jre/lib/endorsed rather than lib/endorsed as it 
says in the Xalan FAQ.
