What happens when Software A uses JDOM 2.0 while Software B uses JDOM 
1.0, and you want to write Software C that uses both Software A and 
Software B?  Can you just drop in JDOM 2.0, ignore JDOM 1.0, and have 
Software B (built maybe against an old version of Java) satisfied? 
Anyone have experience with this?
