[jdom-interest] Null Pointer Exception from getTextTrim() method

[Victor Toni]

I wonder if the NPE is really thrown from the method (which I don't 
believe).
If you realize that the NPE exception was actually thrown because you 
tried to call a method of a "null" object you should again look at your 
code, at the JDOM javadocs etc.
