> Hi,
> I just revised the ISBNValidator to support ISBN-13 / EAN-13 standards, which 
> will begin its use on 2007 (see 
> http://www.isbn.org/standards/home/isbn/transition.asp for more information).
> To support a smooth transition, I changed the isValid(String) method so that 
> it can validate all ISBN-10, ISBN-13 and EAN-13 codes. In addition, I created 
> methods for validating only ISBN-10, only EAN-13, or ISBN-13 / EAN-13 codes.  
> This way, anyone could have support for
> the new standard by just changing the .jar file.
> Please note that I've changed a few method names, and you may want to check 
> the code style to match the existing one (however I tried to follow it 
> whenever I could).
> Regards,
> Gabriel Belingueres
