Afetr using the Model library (see this) for my Maven pom.xml during this weeks I jumped on this error while attempting to write a ConfiguratonContainer into the pom.xml.

The javadoc for Model says:

public void setConfiguration(Object configuration)

Set the configuration as DOM object.

Parameters:
    configuration - 

So I made some xml with Document (org.w3c.dom.Document) and the xml parser standar javax library. You know the code (it's through all the net) but I paste it here...

          DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
            DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
            Document doc =parser.newDocument();

And then you fill the code with Element declaration,a lot of appendChild and such.

And tried to make it work. Doesn't seem to do well. First tried using

plugin.setConfiguration(doc);

But it didn't work. Then I tried

Obejct obj = doc;    
plugin.setConfiguration(obj);

But it didn't work.

Then I searched the net for answers, and guess...

It didn't work.

There are like 0 people using this library (maven.model) in all the net. So here am I again, asking the senseis for help.

Where is my error? I have downloaded the source code of the library trying to see where is the error, but it seems to be ok (as should). I add the stackrace for reference

A: 

OK problem solved (I promise never ever again ask something while I am on medication).

My main poblem was my inhability to understand that "Set the configuration as DOM object." (from the javadoc) was not refering to a DOM typical object, but a Xpp3Dom object.

Terribly sorry to make you loose your time.

By the way, seeming this leads to some kind of error, I suggest changing the javadoc so it is more understandable. Like "Set the configuration as Xpp3Dom object".
