Re: javax.xml in GCC 3.4.4?

Thanks for the info guys.  The application I wanted to compile was Saxon 
8.5 and I believe he avoided using the DOM API to speed up XSL 
transforms.  I'll give 4.0.2 a try.  Hopefully it'll work and I can run 
it without the JVM starting up every time.

Maybe you guys can have someone update the GCJ site to reflect this 
info.  It'd help newbies like me.  Thanks again.
