I've posted a new version of XOM I'm calling 1.0d2 at the usual location:

http://www.cafeconleche.org/XOM/

This post:

* Cleans up a lot of the source code, including fixing various spelling
and JavaDoc errors. It adds more JavaDoc, includes license info in
the source code, adds version attributes to each class (1.0d2),
and converts all the source code to UTF-8. Still to be done:
hunting down and fixing all the long lines of code.

* Fixes the various bugs uncovered by Laurent and Bradley in the
initial release, especially in the Serializer and Builder.
The code can now compile against Java 1.4.
Running against 1.4 may bump into bugs in the version of
Xerces Sun bundles with 1.4. I recommend you use the endorsed
classpath mechanism to upgrade Xerces to 2.1.0.

* Changes readAttribute to getAttributeValue
and howManyChildren to getChildCount.
For the moment, there doesn't seem to be a clear
on the name of the method that returns the string
representation of a node, so I've left that as is.

Barrring the discovery of more bugs that need an immediate fix,1.0d3 will probably the suggestions John Cowan's been making for refactoring the Node and TreeNode types into Node and ParentNode.
