[jdom-interest] How to get a org.jdom.Document from a org.w3 c.dom.Element ?

[Keith Thomas]

Jason,

That sounds like just what I need. I whole heatedly agree with your
suggestion that w3c element to jdom element conversion is really what we
need more than my suggested mixing of document & element types, i.e. I
really should have asked 'how to get a org.jdom.Element from a
org.w3c.dom.Element' and not 'how to get a org.jdom.Document from a
org.w3c.dom.Element'.

Thanks,
Keith Thomas

The code you need exists in DOMBuilder; with 10 minutes of coding you
can modify it to do what you want in your own builder class.

Your question makes me think maybe DOMBuilder should have a public
method that builds a JDOM Element from a DOM Element.  

public Element build(org.w3c.dom.Element el)

We shouldn't build a doc from an element, but a user could add the new
element as the root of a new doc easily enough.  Any objections?
