[jdom-interest] Re: jdom 1.0 XMLOutputter -- problems

[Frances]

thank you..  where is code that actually creates xml file..  for example 
if I want to put elements created here in a file called myinfo.xml, how 
would I do that..

I see various packages that come w/jdom download, however can find only 
docs for jdom.jar, where are docs for all other jars in this download 
(xalan.jar, xerces.jar, xml-apis.jar, etc... I have never been able to 
find docs for xml-apis.jar, it comes also with Tomcat, why no docs..) 
thanks..
