Java and user settings

I'm now closer to the RC1 release of XPontus XML Editor(http://xpontus.sf.net).

• I discover JGoodies Bindings(https://binding.dev.java.net/) usefulness today! It is better than using the observer pattern all the time.
• I am using XStream(http://xstream.codehaus.org/) to save and reader the user's preferences. XStream is better than simple serialization in my opinion. With xstream you avoid incompatibilities between serializations according to the java version the user have(ie 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5).

There is still much to do:

• Correct the XSLT scenarios settings for the new API
• Check the code consistency
• Verify if there aren't bugs left due to all the modifications in the API
• Check if all existing functions are working well before adding new features
