The JFC changed in 1.5, .useful needs a tweek

Bee-u-t-ful code I must first comment. Wow. I was trying to use the AutomatedXMLTree.java. I note the date of posting this code is 2004. Evidentially, XML is a moving target and moving fast. Using the XMLTree code in my choice of JDK 1.5 or 1.6, I get ---> [#document: null]. Because of all the different tools required, the choice of parser, the methodology, the JFC's latest changes, the w3org rewriting the xml specs, ad infintim, it strikes me there is a light year's worth of difference between code that ran in 1.42 and code that runs in 1.5. I searched the Sun forums and I find this insight: /* The parse() method doesn't return null, * "[#document: null]" is what's returned by toString() * method when you print it. * Call getDocumentElement() method for * the document returned by parse() to get * the root node of the document. */ Because .toString() is a method of everything JFC (for instance, any System.out.println() ) it is difficult for me to discover where in the .useful API I should be making modifications.
