I've released XOM 1.2.5, my free-as-in-speech (LGPL) dual streaming/tree-based API for processing XML with Java. 1.2.5 is a very minor release. The only visible change is that Builder.build((Reader) null) now throws a NullPointerException instead of a confusing MalformedURLException. I've also added support for Maven 2, and hope to get the packages uploaded to the central repository in a week or two.
