JDOM 1.0? It looks like JDOM 1.0 might finally be released next month. The main motivation for this release after 10 betas? According to Jason, it's all about saving face:

As we got closer to the four year mark, JDOM began to be my own problem again. It wasn't that I had different use cases, I just didn't want to be the guy who never finished JDOM. There's nothing like a little face saving as a motivating factor.

Personally, I don't use JDOM, but I've heard good things about it. Posted in Java at Feb 19 2004, 11:09:57 AM MST 3 Comments

I always did not like jdom. dom4j is so much better. I used JDom for my first large project that used XML and boy did I regret that.

I switched from JDOM to dom4j and have not taken a look at it since. I may have to see what improvements are included.

I love jdom and use it on all of my projects. What could be bad about a library that treats XML in a pure OOP'tical(TM) way? When you know the structure of the XML you will be recieving, I think jdom really shines.
