Description

Many places in Nutch use XML. Parsing XML using the JDK API is painful. I propose to add one (or more) library plugins with JDOM, DOM4J, Jaxen, etc. This should simplify the current deployment, and help plugin writers to use the existing API.

Similarly, many plugins use log4j. Either we add it to the /lib, or we could create a lib-log4j plugin.
