it dependency lightness is important (it is !) just the plain old Dom or Sax?

Take a look at the XML parser for the DRLXML format in Drools 3 - its reasonably flexible (hand coded to some extent) but just uses standard stuff.

something like

    <ruleBase location="/org/foo/bar/drools.drl"/>
</localsearch>

This is a bit inspired by how ehcache is configured, clean and easy,
without any class implementation details: the way users like it.


I 've been thinking on doing this with XStream, but that's not versatile
enough to make user friendly configuration files. Although Xstream works
out great to serialize solutions to and from xml files.

Next I was thinking about is JDom or Xom, but that's yet another
dependency. What would you guys recommend?
