There is no support for this one, right ? If you find a bug...

This is a good example, you have a free (libre) XML library for Java and
ACT. Just use it. But if you want to use it in a commercial software it could
make sense to have support, here it is possible with ACT I doubt you can get
support for the Java library.

I think the misunderstanding between us is that you talk about product and I'm
talking about support. Or maybe I (one more time) missed the point :)
