XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Mike Wilson <mikewse AT hotmail.com>]

Never mind, having the XMLReader stuff as a dependency is ok.
This is the resulting code:

XMLReader reader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
reader.setEntityResolver(new EntityResolver() {
  public InputSource resolveEntity ... {
    return new InputSource(); // no contents
  }
});
Builder builder = new Builder(reader); 

Thanks
Mike
