Jason Hunter writes to say that JDOM has been accepted by the Java
Community Process as a Java Specification Request, JSR-102.
The JSR process will be used to create a "1.0" release of JDOM,
already gaining popular acceptance over the W3C DOM as an easy and
efficient API for processing XML in Java.
The acceptance of JDOM as a JSR is significant as it opens the door
for JDOM to become a part of the core Java platform. Hunter writes:
JDOM will still be released as open source
software, and technical discussion will continue to take place on public
mailing lists. I am the Specification Lead for the JDOM JSR and am
working now to set up a formal Expert Group.
For more information, read JSR-102.
