This is what I do:

-----------8<--SNIP-----------------
Element newRoot = new Element("FILE");

Namespace xmlns = 
Namespace.getNamespace("xsi","http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance");
newRoot.addNamespaceDeclaration(xmlns);

Attribute xsiAttrib = new Attribute("noNamespaceSchemaLocation","file:///C:/Documents/832BP_SCHEMAV04.XSD",xmlns);
newRoot.addAttribute(xsiAttrib);
-----------8<--SNIP-----------------

That works for me. There may be a better way. Anyone? This is what I use 
in JDOM B6 BTW. I have not yet grabbed B7 (shame on me). I don't know if 
B7 will require any changes to this.
