[jdom-interest] Element.toString() being final

Hi all,
 
The method 'toString()' of class 'Element' is declared as 'final'.
This causes problem when you use jdom in connection with the Swing JTree
class.
When swing displays a tree node, it calls Object.toString(). Then return
value of Element.toString() is not always suited.
It would be nice to be able to overwrite Element.toString() in a sub class
to Element.
This way you may display your jdom trees very nicely.
 
 
Thanks,
Håkan
