[jdom-interest] ClassCastException

[Ramy Mamdouh]

Hello,

I'm using JDK 1.3 on SuSE Linux 8.0.

I get a ClassCastException when I try this piece of code .

SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder(false);
saxBuilder.build(file);

I've all the required jars in my classpath, and in the right order as 
said in the faq.

here's the stack trace :

org.jdom.JDOMException: Error in building:
