[jdom-interest] jdom2 migration issue

[Rolf Lear]

In eclipse, edit your file, then type shift-ctrl-T
Then type org.jdom.Document

In the box below, you have all the locations of jdom 1.x Documents.

As a double-check, can you copy/paste the entire import section in your
class.... I am convinced there must be an import from org.jdom.* or
something.

P.S. when you reply, do a reply-all, and I will get your answer
faster.....
