[jdom-interest] Turning off validation against a DTD

I have the following code: -

import java.io.*;
import org.jdom.*;
import org.jdom.input.*;
import org.jdom.output.*;

public class Spike {
	public static void main(String args[]) {
		try {
			SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder(false);
			builder.setExpandEntities(false);
			String xml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"
encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM \"foo.dtd\"><root><proof>This is
&#xe1; foofoo &#xf3; stuff!</proof></root>";
			new XMLOutputter().output(
				builder.build(new StringReader(xml)),
					new PrintWriter(new
FileWriter("c:\\proof.xml")));
		}
		catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
	}
}

I do not want to validate the XML in this case, and therefore I do:
SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder(false).  However, initializing builder
with the false parameter, it still validates it against the DTD.  
How can I turn off validation and just make it write the XML to a file?

Thanks!
