[jdom-interest] JDOM b8 and Apache Xerces-J 2.0.2

[Sullivan, Sean C - MLG]

I am using JDOM b8

I just switched from Apache Crimson 1.1.3 (crimson.jar) 
to Apache Xerces-J 2.0.2

Here is what I did:

1) download Xerces-J 2.0.2 

	http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-j/

2) unzip Xerces-J-bin.2.0.2.zip

3) remove crimson.jar from my application classpath

4) add xercesImpl.jar and xmlParserAPIs.jar to my application classpath

5) update my usage of org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder

   http://www.jdom.org/docs/apidocs/org/jdom/input/SAXBuilder.html

   I set the saxDriverClass parameter to
   "org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser"

Cheers,

-Sean
