FYI - In jdom (not jdom2), it seems that this vulnerable functionality is in the setFeaturesAndProperties() private method, but in jdom2, it was moved into configureParser() and setFeaturesAndProperties() was removed. E.G. older code from jdom-1.1.3:

```
private void setFeaturesAndProperties(XMLReader parser, boolean coreFeatures) throws JDOMException {
    Iterator iter = this.features.keySet().iterator();
    while (iter.hasNext()) {
      String name = iter.next();
      Boolean value = (Boolean)this.features.get(name);
      internalSetFeature(parser, name, value.booleanValue(), name);
    } 
    iter = this.properties.keySet().iterator();
    while (iter.hasNext()) {
      String name = iter.next();
      internalSetProperty(parser, name, this.properties.get(name), name);
    } 
    if (coreFeatures) {
      try {
        internalSetFeature(parser, "http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", this.validate, "Validation");
      } catch (JDOMException e) {
        if (this.validate)
          throw e; 
      } 
      internalSetFeature(parser, "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces", true, "Namespaces");
      internalSetFeature(parser, "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes", true, "Namespace prefixes");
    } 
    try {
      if (parser.getFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities") != this.expand)
        parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities", this.expand); 
    } catch (SAXNotRecognizedException sAXNotRecognizedException) {
    
    } catch (SAXNotSupportedException sAXNotSupportedException) {}
  }
  
  private void internalSetFeature(XMLReader parser, String feature, boolean value, String displayName) throws JDOMException {
    try {
      parser.setFeature(feature, value);
    } catch (SAXNotSupportedException e) {
      throw new JDOMException(displayName + " feature not supported for SAX driver " + parser
          .getClass().getName());
    } catch (SAXNotRecognizedException e) {
      throw new JDOMException(displayName + " feature not recognized for SAX driver " + parser
          .getClass().getName());
    } 
  }
