dom4j 2.0

This project is attempt at revival of dom4j Java library in new version 2.0.

Goals for version 2.0

  • compatibility with Java 5
  • improvement to utilize new language constructs and classes from Java 5 - generics, concurency framework, enums etc.
  • clearing code (methods marked as deprecated and specified to be removed in version 1.6 will be really removed)
  • finishing missing documentation

Plan

My idea is to start new version dom4j 2.0, which will realize presented goals, where version 1.6.1 will be preserved for Java 1.4 compatibility. The project is hosted on this page temporarily - I'd like to publish my code changes and ideas as soon as possible so if somebody else has similar idea, he or she can join with me, instead of working on its own.

I'll contact maintainers of 1.6 branch for arrange with them about SourceForge account etc.

My up-to-date source code package with Mercurial repository can be downloaded here: ./dom4j-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.tar.bz2 .
