Conforms to Servlet 2.3 or higher specifications
JAXP with a parser implementation (this is usually supplied by your Servlet container)
JRE 1.3.x and JRE 1.4.x or higher for optimal performance

SiteMesh may also be built from source, with Java SDK version 1.4 or above, and Jakarta Ant 1.5 or above.
