JDOM in Oracle Magazine. The Sept/Oct issue of Oracle Magazine has an introductory article on JDOM covering Beta 8.
BETA 8! JDOM was a great idea but what happened? Development ground to a halt, a clean API got messy and they spent years at Beta status. Will they ever ship?
Meanwhile other projects have been consistently releasing with innovating features and cleaner APIs; DOM4J, ElecticXML, and XOM.
What is the big deal with JDOM? The competing products are better at virtually everthing JDOM tries to achieve.
Thank goodness for the JCP, that'll save them, because as we all know a nice heavyweight process will help them one day reach the big 1.0 for a product which there is no longer a need for. Come on guys, stop talking and start doing.
