The reason I chose KXml is that it is much more lightweight than Digester and has no additional dependencies. No that Sling is in the Incubator and requires Java 5 anyway, we (the Sling project) might want to consider moving away from the XML-based configurationn to standard annotations. But I agree with Christophe, that as long as Jackrabbit declares to be running Java 1.4, we should not mix Java 5 stuff into other libraries. Regards Felix
