[jdom-interest] Moving Elements and elt.detach()

[Kevin Baynes]

I have a list of Elements (e) that I am moving from one node to another. In
the JDOM FAQ it says to do it like this:

newParent.addContent( elt.detach() );

However, in JDOM b6 there is no such Element.detach() method, so I've been
looping over a list of Elements to remove and doing it like this:

otherNode.addContent( (Element)e.clone() );
List l = e.getParent().getChildren();
l.remove(e);

It seems like there should be an Element.remove() method (I intuitively
expected one to be there).

Am I missing an easier way? What happened to Element.detach()?
