dom4j is one of the better XML parsing Java libraries out there.

Its released under the uber-liberal BSD license, and is the brainchild of James Strachan, also of Jelly and Groovy fame.

Yesterday I was working on some dom4j stuff, and noticed that www.dom4j.org (I'm not going to link to it) is no longer a mirror of the original http://dom4j.sourceforge.net.

Instead, its been taken over by some SEO assholes in belgium (www.yxymedia.com) who have made a visual clone of the dom4j look-and-feel, but have changed it to be about "making your own website. The headers now read "DOM4J – Making Your Own Site".

WTF??!!

There's no 2 ways around it. This is unethical, misleading, and embarrasing.

Guys @ yxymedia, if you read this, please stop.
