The wrapper for JDOM nodes is not maintained anymore, and will be
removed in 2.4. You should use W3C DOM... but it seems it's not
possible in you case. However, if the current JDOM wrapper works for
you, you can grab it from the source code, even rename the package to
com.yourcompany.freemarker.jdom or something, and put it into your own
jar, or pack it as part of your project. Then it will work with
FreeMarker 2.4 as well, also you can tweak it accord your needs. Using
custom wrappers is a normal (intended) practice after all.
