[jdom-interest] A Fast Way to Merge Documents

[Jason Hunter]

To move the doc2 root as a child to the doc1 root:

Element doc2root = doc2.getRootElement();   // get pointer to it
doc2.removeContent(doc2root);               // take it from one tree
doc1.getRootElement().addContent(doc2root); // add to another tree

Easy and fast.
