[jdom-interest] SAXbuilder need a special path to access a file?

[Brett McLaughlin]

You can use a URL from the file:

Document doc = builder.build(file.toURL());

You're passing in the path to the file as a String, but if you look at the
Javadocs, the String argument to SAXBuilder.build() must be a URL. So you'd
want something like:

Document doc = builder.build(file.toURL().toString());

Hope that helps.
