Xalan and Xerces are separate projects (for XSLT and
actual XML parsing, respectively -- JDOM is not a
parser, but a tree model built from data parser
provides). So their documentation would be found
starting from their home pages. As usual, try googling
for those keywords -- as usual it shows you where to
look. But most likely you don't really need docs for
those, as they are only internally used by JDOM, or
used via standard JAXP (JDK 1.4 and up) APIs,
javax.xml.parser.*.

That probably contains SAX, DOM and perhaps JAXP
interfaces. As such, it's not even needed with JDK 1.4
and above, which includes these by default.
