I suggested that Scott would use the Configuration stuff from Avalon since
he wanted something very light also for some Configuration stuff he is
working on at the Commons (may be you get a new convert in the process).

JDom and Dom4J are far from being that light and are much slower too.

For this kind of work, JDom and Dom4J suffer from featuritis.


Have fun,
