Description

With the additions proposed in JDO-467, we need to identify the XML parser to use. The current minimum JDK supported by JDO is 1.3, which doesn't come standard with an XML parser. We can either update the minimum required JDK to 1.4, which does come with an XML parser out of the box, or identify a solution that works in a 1.3 and later environment.
