Hi,

It looks like it is trying to validate the document but you
have not given it a proper DTD - or you have given a DTD
that does not match document. Xerces has a feature that
saids validate if DTD present - otherwise
don't. Unfortunately the only way to get it is to copy
sourcecode of org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder into own project and
modify. I have been trying to get them to enable this - but
so far no luck. If I get no ack or nack within next day I
will try for 3rd time lucky :P

Cheers,

Pete
