JDOM is not a parser. In addition to providing a tree
structure that represents an XML document, it provides
some APIs to abstract using a parser, but does not
provide an actual parser. So to use JDOM you need
Xerces, Crimson, or some other parser to do the actual
parsing. Most SAX or DOM parsers should work with
JDOM. Right now JDOM comes with the Xerces jar.
