A complete, Java-based solution for accessing, manipulating,
and outputting XML data. This artifact is to support those people
who want to use both JDOM 2.x and JDOM 1.x in their project.
This artifact is a duplicate of org.jdom:jdom:1.1.3 which just allows
maven users to have both jdom 2.x versions (from the jdom artifact)
as well as 1.x versions (from this jdom-legacy artifact) in the same
maven project.
The newest version!
