Thank you. We are always happy hearing that :).

Okay.

How do you mean that? Fixes? Addons? Please fill free to post such stuff
here as well as here, so we can decide to make it open to the public. It's just
to avoid to create thousands of versions of dom4j ;).

Seems so. One thing you cant to do is to sell dom4j as your own idea.

We use a lot of OpenSource. Tomat and JBoss for example works fine. dom4j is
one of best desinged Open Project (beside JUnit) I know. But I understand
that you need information. :)

A Branch is not a element. Only Elements have attributtes. The hirachy looks
like this.
Node ( atomic )

Brach ( can have children)

Element ( can have children and attribues)
Have you look into org.dom4j.swing.*; package? Sorry I'm not very close to
swing or the swing stuff James an other's written for dom4j.
Bye
