[jdom-interest] debug everywhere

[Paul Libbrecht]

Just for the sake of completeness, there's a funny story behind this on 
dom4j:

- in JDOM, you can use SAXReader.read(File) which is mostly the same as 
File.toURI().toString() and that's good and should be such (it is good 
since it allows relative resolution of, e.g., DTD references)
- in dom4j, there's a guy that discovered that file.toURL() does not 
url-encode # hence turns a file with a # into a reference with an inner 
id-reference... and they use this as an excuse not to use file.toURI() 
when receiving a file, hence breaking all file-reading relative resolution.

Luckily File.toURI() does URL-encode #... but maybe it only comes in 
modern flavours of JDK ?
