Dear all, I've been looking at JDOM recently and found it quite easy to use to read/write XML docs. It it likely to become part of core Java just the way JDBC is? Many thanks Ambrose Tati

Very likely. On Feb 26, 2001 JDOM was accepted today by the Java Community Process (JCP) as a Java Specification Request (JSR-102). Members of the JCP Executive Committee supporting the effort include Apache, Borland, Caldera, Cisco, HP, IBM, and Sun. This JSR will be the process to define the JDOM 1.0 API. Putting JDOM under the oversight of the JCP will facilitate JDOM's corporate adoption and open the door for JDOM to be incorporated into the core Java Platform. JDOM will still be released as open source software, and technical discussion will continue to take place on public mailing lists. For more information, see the JSR-102 Proposal.
