[jdom-interest] Is JDOM dying?

[Malachi de AElfweald]

I am actually having much luck with JAXB so far.  Within 24 hours of asking
how to fix the namespace output, SUN submitted preliminary code for me to
test to see if it fixed my problem.  Within the next 24 hours, they 
submitted
another remake of it to further make it like I expected.

With JDOM, I just have to triple how much code I write to get the correct 
behavior --
or just don't use Namespaces.
