[jdom-interest] JDOM compatibility ??

[Jason Hunter]

JDOM is backward compatible as much as possible between single beta 
cycles, but not across more than one beta cycle.  It's beta.  That means 
it's not promised to be eternally backward compatible.  If we were still 
compatible with beta 3 it'd be horrible!
