It's standard in JDK 1.5, and there's a freestanding version which you can
install under 1.4 and (I think) 1.3.

6.5.3 already includes the JDOM mapping layer, so you could retrofit the 8.2
XOM mapping layer in the same way. However, it might be cleaner to change
the source so that it uses the XOM interface directly, which I don't think
would be difficult.
