[jdom-interest] Element.addContent won't accept String in Collection

[Jason Hunter]

You're right, a String should be suitable to add there.  If you'd like 
to add it, I think the way to do so is to check if it's a String and if 
so wrap it with a Text instance before proceeding.  That lets the class 
continue to hold a Content[].  I'll add it.
