Description

When I try to execute following script:

import org.dom4j.tree.DefaultElement

def initialAction = new DefaultElement("initial-action");
def actionElement = new DefaultElement("action");
initialAction.add(actionElement);

I got following exception:
Cannot resolve which method to invoke for

{class org.dom4j.tree.DefaultElement}

due to overlapping prototypes between:

{interface org.dom4j.Node} {interface org.dom4j.Element}
