JDOM: Parsing XML String, getting error

Question

Hello,
I am new to this forum, so please forgive me
if this has already been asked before. I want to
parse an XML string. I know the JDOM parser works
great with a file, but apparently I have been
unsuccessful parsing an XML String. Below is how I
initialize the parser:
import java.io.*; //Import proper packages
import org.jdom.*;
import org.jdom.input.*;
import org.jdom.output.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
public class XMLParser{
private Document doc = null;
public XMLParser(String xml){
doc = readDocument(xml);
private Document readDocument(String xml) {
try {
SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
org.jdom.Document result = builder.build(new
StringReader(xml));
return result;
} catch(JDOMException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch(NullPointerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
} //readDocument
The following is the error I receive:
JDOM/xmlparser.java [81:1] cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method build (java.io.StringReader)
location: class org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder
org.jdom.Document result = builder.build(new
StringReader(filename));
--> Arrow pointing to builder.build
Please if someone can help me out. If JDOM does not
have this feature, then can someone please recommend a
parser that can parse an XML String.

Thank you for your help, although it seems like it was JDom 9 beta. When I tried with JDOM 8 beta, everything worked fine even with the StringReader. So if anyone is having similar problems with JDom 9 then try with JDom 8.
