XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[David Fogel <carrotsalad AT gmail.com>]

Hi Elliotte-

So, I tried the new build.  You have two typos in the build.xml file,
in the OSGi Manifest section, in the "Import-Packages" entry:

1) You are missing a comma after the junit.framework package, which
causes xom to fail to load in an osgi envionment.  It also seemed to
me that the junit package should probably be "resolution:=optional" as
well, so as to not require junit at deploy-time.

2) You have "resolution=optional" instead of "resolution:=optional"
(notice the extra colon) in the line:
         org.apache.xerces.impl;resolution=optional
where it should be:
         org.apache.xerces.impl;resolution:=optional

(and yes, I do think it's stupid that these entries must use "=" for
the version param, but ":=" for the resolution param...I'm assuming
there's some legacy reason for it.)

The only other thing is that your formatting in the Ant build file is
what's causing the extra spaces in the package import/export section.
Doesn't appear to actually hurt anything, but I suspect these typos
would have been easier to spot without them.

Changing these typos allowed me to run several projects I have that
use XOM, although their use is not exhaustive.

Thanks again for your continued efforts w.r.t OSGi- I know it must
seem like a colossal pain in the ass :-)
