[jdom-interest] required dependencies

[Steffen Pingel]

Hi,

I am trying to determine the minimal dependencies for the Eclipse Orbit JDOM 
1.0 bundle [1]. The bundle currently specifies Xerces as a mandatory 
dependency. My understanding is that with Java 1.4 or higher this dependency 
is optional and JDOM will use the built-in XML parser of the JRE if Xerces is 
not available. 

Is the assumption correct that JDOM will work without any additional 
dependencies if running with Java 1.4 or higher?

Thanks.
Steffen
