[jdom-interest] SAXBuilder revealing SaxParserException - cause unknown

Thu Jan 22 20:50:40 PST 2004

Nothing jumps out at me.  It's a parser issue, not a JDOM issue.

I suggest you simplify your document until it starts working, then see 
what the last thing you removed was and figure out why that thing must 
have caused the problem.
