[jdom-interest] JDOM 1.1 Release Candidate

[Mattias Jiderhamn]

This is good news!

I would like to confirm that the patch I supplied for "Fixed bug when
using attributes without a namespace and outputting to a JDOMResult."
seems to be working fine with the "jdom-1.1-RC.zip" build.
Running JDK 1.5.
