I am currently using DOM for my projects but have become convinced of
the advantages of switching to a more Java-centric xml framework. I have
looked into both jdom and dom4j and done some research into both. All
things being equal, personally I find the dom4j features and API more
attractive -- although obviously that is a subjective entity. On the
other hand, it appears that jdom has many more followers and I hesitate
to use a package which in a couple of years may be forgotten and
abandoned due to jdom's popularity.

I was wondering if anyone has used both packages and has any thoughts
they would like share. Come to think of it, even if you have not used
both packages I am interested to hear your thoughts as I am sure many
people have been faced with a similar dilema: one framework which
appears superior but is less popular than another framework.

Thanks,
