Weird. Just guessing, but it looks like your Java 1.4 VM is 
interpreting the file protocol as an FTP URL rather than a local file 
URL. This is actually what the file URL used to be maybe ten years 
ago (forever in Internet time) so I'm a little surprised to see it 
popping up in Java 1.4. I suggest writing a program that doesn't use 
JDOM at all and attempts to load the same file URL as a stream and 
seeing if you get the same problem. If you can reproduce it on a 
simple test case it might be worth a bug report to Sun.
