Re: JDOM 2.x additional features

Hi Rolf,

well, for business reasons the most interesting features are Android support for
mobile apps and "full" Saxon support for enterprise applications.

Have you ever look on Apache ServiceMix? They package jdom as an OSGi bundle for
years. (https://github.com/apache/servicemix4-bundles/tree/trunk/jdom-1.1.2)

The idea with the resolver sounds cool, but at the moment I see no much use
cases for usage with jdom in "normal" environments. Together with mobile support
(Android) in unstable network environments I think it should make sense.
Probably something for the contrib subproject?

Best regards
Benjamin
