OK. For the last time:

The LGPL is completely compatible with Java. Merely linking to XOM, without modifying the XOM source code, does not infect your application with the LGPL. There has never been any confusion about this from anybody actually understands the LGPL and Java. All the FUD that's been smeared around this issue is based on either not understanding the LGPL, or not understanding how Java linking works, or both.
