[jdom-interest] Bug Find (Beta 8) -- Element.java with Seriliazation/Deserialization

[Jeremy Prellwitz]

This seems to be a bug, anyways......i can't imagine that it 
is a supposed to act this way.  This is my first bug report, 
hopefully i can continue to contribute more.....




The following is a java program that exposes the bug....if i 
run this with the beta7 jar it works fine, if i run this with 
the beta8 jar, the bug is exposed. This took me a small while 
to debug, as if i printed the contents of the serialized 
object using the XMLOutputter ..... everything was 
there.....the Element.getChildText(".....") method also works 
fine....., but the getChildren(....) methods do not.




Also.....is this mailing list the proper place to report a 
bug?  If not, let me know, and i'll report it elsewhere.




Thanks.
