[jdom-interest] Out of date JAR files in %JDOM_HOME%\lib directory

[Sean C. Sullivan]

On Friday October 26, 2001 I downloaded the current source
snapshot  (jdom-complete.zip) from

  http://cvs.jdom.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/

After unzipping jdom-complete.zip, look at the JAR files
in  jdom\lib

You will find these files:

   jdom\lib\ant.jar    (size:  295,934)
   jdom\lib\collections.jar   (size:  259,265)
   jdom\lib\crimson.jar   (size:  187,162)
   jdom\lib\jaxp.jar   (size:  28,404)
   jdom\lib\xalan.jar  (size:  801,714)
   jdom\lib\xerces.jar   (size:  1,498,679)

The xerces.jar file is version 1.2.0 of Apache's Xerces-J.
This is an out of date version of Xerces-J.  The current release 
of Xerces-J is version 1.4.3

The jdom\lib\ant.jar file appears to be an older copy of the Ant tool.
The current release of Ant is version 1.4.1
For Ant 1.4.1, the ant.jar file size is 417,110

Is the JDOM team going to update the ant.jar and xerces.jar files?
