| Our Mission? | To provide a complete, Java-based solution for accessing, manipulating, and outputting XML data from Java code. Read more about our project goals. |
| Project Status? | JDOM 2.0.1 is available! This is a recommended upgrade for anyone still using JDOM 1.1.3 or earlier, and using Java5 or later. JDOM 2.0.1 contains bug fixes, and it also officially introduces Android support (JDOM 1.x versions worked on Android but are not officially supported). JDOM 2.x versions are a significant reworking of the JDOM API to enhance it with Generics, and other Java Language features introduced with Java 5. JDOM 2.x is fully supported for use with Java 6 or Java 7, and is also compatible with Java 5 with a few restrictions. See the full Statement on Supported Versions and Dependencies To facilitate the deployment of JDOM 2.x, the entire JDOM package has been renamed. If you are migrating to JDOM 2.x from previous JDOM versions you will need to change your package imports from org.jdom.* to org.jdom2.* A full JDOM 1.x to JDOM 2.x migration guide is available. JDOM 1.x versions are operating in maintenance mode only and only bug fixes will be considered for future 1.x releases. The only reason to continue using JDOM 1.x is for compatibility with older Java versions (back to Java 1.2). New features are being considered for JDOM2 though. If you want to be involved, or have suggestions or questions, please write in to the mailing list and check out the GitHub Repository. Get JDOM Here!! |
| The Latest? |
Mission accomplished. We've succeeded in our mission with an API that's been through years of design and development and a codebase that is rock solid. What about JSR-102? That's a good question. It hasn't been a priority for us. We seem to be doing pretty well on our own, it turns out. If you are wondering what Jason has been doing lately, he's working on MarkMail. It's a searchable email archive system. You can try searching the JDOM lists at jdom.markmail.org. |
| What's Next? |
JDOM 2.0.0 is out, and work is starting on identifying what new features can be added to future 2.x releases. If you have comments, questions, or suggestions for something that is, or should be, in a 2.x release, please write in to jdom-interest. |
