    I am new to Grok, so excuse me if I miss something. I read a previous thread about RegEx features of 1.4 (which are amazingly useful!), but I was wondering if there was a plan to use the javax.xml package now packaged with the JDK.

      I haven't yet looked at the javax.xml package.  We currently use JDOM plus Xerces. However, provided that functionality and performance can be equally met by packages from the Java API, I would prefer to swap over to the Java packages wherever possible.  If someone feels like investigating whether it is possible for the XML stuff, that would be a welcome effort.

      I think that JDOM is set to become part of the Java API at some point, is it not?

      Anyway, I think it may soon be time to move up to 1.4, if only for the regular expressions.
