[jdom-interest] ADDING A CHILD....

[Laurent Bihanic]

 From the JavaDoc of java.util.ConcurrentModificationException:
"[...] it is not generally permssible for one thread to modify a Collection 
while another thread is iterating over it. In general, the results of the 
iteration are undefined under these circumstances. Some Iterator 
implementations (including those of all the collection implementations 
provided by the JRE) may choose to throw this exception if this behavior is 
detected. Iterators that do this are known as fail-fast iterators, as they 
fail quickly and cleanly, rather that risking arbitrary, non-deterministic 
behavior at an undetermined time in the future."

JDOM's ContentList Iterator is fail-fast too. To fix the problem, you should 
allocate the Iterator after having modified the list content.
