If you wish to add the content of one document to another you can either
perform a deep clone, via the clone() method (or createCopy() methods on
Element).
Or if you want to remove content from one document and add it to another,
you can detach it from one document using the detach() method first before
adding it to the other.
e.g.
SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();
Document doc1 = reader.read( "foo.xml" );
Document doc2 = reader.read( "bar.xml" );
Element root1 = doc1.getRootElement();
Element root2 = doc2.getRootElement();
root2.detach();
root1.add( root2 );
This will add the root element of of doc2 to the root element of doc2. This
can happen on any node, though remember that a document can only contain one
root element.
If you wish to add both root elements as siblings then you could do...
Element root1 = doc1.getRootElement();
Element root2 = doc2.getRootElement();
root1.detach();
root2.detach();
Element newRoot = doc1.addElement( "root" );
newRoot.add( root1 );
newRoot.add( root2 );

Whoops - looks like you've found a bug - sorry about that.
I'll look into it shortly and send out a mail when I've patched the code, it
should be quite an easy fix by the look of things. Thanks for findiing this
bug.
