Description

If a newly created element has no children then a NullPointerException is thrown.

IMO in these cases the method should create a new TextElement and add the contents to it.

How to reproduce:

import groovy.xml.dom.DOMCategory

use(DOMCategory) {
    def prop = doc.createElement('property')
    prop.setAttribute('name', 'cache.class')
    prop.setValue('true')
}
