Description

With XMLConfiguration it is not possible to change the value of an attribute of the root element.

New attributes on the root level can be created, e.g.:

XMLConfiguration config = new XMLConfiguration();
config.addProperty("[@test]", "true");

would create a new "test" attribute of the root element. However if this configuration is saved and loaded again, a

config.setProperty("[@test]", "false");

only temporarily changes the value: getProperty() returns the new value, but when the configuration is saved, the old value is written.
