Hi everyone,

Just to clarify, you don't need to extract the source from CVS to use the
DOM L3 experimental implmentation. If you download the source
and tools distributions for Xerces-J 2.5.0 (or several previous releases),
and build the parser with the jars-dom3 target, you can use the draft
version of DOM Level 3.

See the FAQ on the Xerces-J website:
http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/faq-dom.html#faq-3
