[jdom-interest] JDom and Java5

[Rolf Lear]

Hi Mattias

Thanks for the feedback.

The XSLT issue is a bug I introduced with the port. Previously there was 
a single inner class of JDOMSource that could deal with either Document 
or Content Lists. With the port I created two inner classes, one for 
Documents only, and the second for List<Content> only. I introduced a 
bug in the process. Easy fix (just poor testing - I should introduce a 
test in jdom-test for the XSLT stuff - can you put together a simple 
test case of the bug?).

The second issue is also cool. The XPath code is implemented by the 
jaxen library which is not (yet) generified. As a consequence, I hacked 
the calles to Jaxen to get List<Object>. By removing the hacks and 
providing List<?> as output it is actually simpler. I am not sure if you 
were anticipating just plain List as output instead of List<?>, is there 
a difference?

I have updated the code repo, jar, apidocs, and website, etc.

Thanks

Rolf
