Nope; I've long wanted an input.setIgnoringAllWhitespace() method on the 
SAXBuilder but when I started implementing it (it'd have to be a JDOM 
level feature as SAX parsers don't have such a notion), I found it 
difficult to do without a lot of look ahead.  Perhaps it'd be easier 
with today's SAXBuilder design.  You're welcome to implement such a 
feature.  I'd be happy to commit it.
