No - just part two of the article ;-)  Part 1 was reading, part two was
writing ;-) And of course, part two isn't out yet.

Check out XMLOutputter (org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter) for outputting to
a File, Stream, etc - there's also an example in
samples/org/jdom/examples/io/SAXBuilderDemo writing to an OutputStream -
you can also output to a FileOutputStream.

Hope that helps.
