I think the URL you meant to use for XOM is http://www.xom.nu/ - the URL you specified is Exxon-Mobil...
I had heard of XOM but have never seen it used in any open-source project. I see a lot of JDOM (http://www.jdom.org/), which is quite easy to use and has a lot (but not all) of the same benefits as XOM. 

Cheers

now that we have a GUI of sorts, we can start working on making it
actually do something. There was a problem with the file open and save
dialogs. I think that has now been fixed. The Open dialog shoulod open
files that have either an xml or utd (for xml with UTDML) It should then construct a parse tree or document model, whichever is most convenient. 
The package currently recommended for doing this is xom,
http://www.xom.com It has file-reading methods. The next step would then 
be to find out jow to examine the tree or model to see what it is
actually doing. There are probably methods for doing this also.

Any feedback, anyone?
