None of them can preserve whitespace in elements (between attributes, for example or in the end tag). For XMLBeans, you need to define POJOs for all any any elements in the XML that you want to process. Not suitable for a generic XML search'n'replace tool. EMF has a classpath that is longer than my attention span which not documented anywhere. I'm past guesswork in my job. JDOM has the best XML API so far but it's still based on Java 1.4, so the code is pretty expressive ... lots of "ceremony". Regards, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a.
