[jdom-interest] Merging two Documents

[tsasala at hifusion.com]

	What you are proposing is not straight forward at all.
If order doesn't matter, take all the element of one document
and add them to the other document.  Otherwise, you need to 
go through each element, find it, and add the children.
If the element is not in the document, add it under the
root. The basic outline is:

	doc2.root.getChildren.
	Iterate over children, looking for them in doc1.
	If child is in doc1
	  element = doc1.getElement(child.name)
	  element.addChildren(child.getChildren)
	else
	  doc1.root.addChild(child)


	This is not perfect, but it does most of the heavy
lifting.  (doc1 is your merged document)
