Just wanted to footnote this one, that abdera has feed parsing as well
and may be useful here in the future when it improves its RSS support.
It would be fairly easy to swap out rome for abdera since abdera is
already a dep in the project.

here's a comparison

Hmm, the spec is pretty vague about what ContentType.FEED is supposed to
accept, so I'm not sure if this is an issue or not.

I would like to use abdera for this (assuming that we continue to use it for
AtomPub, of course), but for now it probably makes sense to stick with ROME
until we're sure whether or not the RSS support in Abdera is adequate. It
should be as trivial as modifying FeedProcessor.java to use
org.apache.abdera instead of com.sun.syndication, right?

Abdera has incomplete support for RSS. The initial commit mentioned
"So far the code is capable of parsing reasonably decent RSS 2.0 feeds
and partially parsing RSS 1.0." Don't know where it is now.

from my previous link:
"Also, there has been some work on getting the RSS support beefed up
although I've been waiting on the guy to get the legal clearance to
contribute that work back to the project. Since I'm not the one doing
that work and I don't really know the guy doing it, I'm not going to
hold my breath. If someone (ahem) wanted to take a whack at fleshing
out the RSS support in Abdera I wouldn't be heartbroken in the least
:-)."

When I asked about this a few months back I was told that Abdera didn't
support RSS -- is that not the case anymore?
