[jdom-interest] How do add a child?

[kevin.schmidt at convergys.com]

I am using JDOM beta 7 and am trying to add one Element to be a child of
another.
I dont see an addChild method in the API for Element.  Also, it wont let me
call setParent
because it is a protected method.  The only way I can see to do it is like
this:

List childs = elem1.getChildren();
childs.add(elem2);
elem1.setChildren(childs);

This seems very roundabout though.  I must be missing something!  Help!
