[jdom-interest] simple question

[Justin Wall]

	Sorry about this, I'm also new to Java, but  was wondering how to do 
this.  How can I just use "Element" as a class descriptor instead of 
"org.jdom.Element".

Example:

I want to use:
public static List tablesParser(Element tb1)
instead of
public static List tablesParser(org.jdom.Element tb1)


Thanks,

Justin Wall
