    // write content into xml file   

    // 4. Create a new Transformer instance and a new DOMSource instance.
   TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
   Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
   DOMSource source = new DOMSource(document);

   // 5. Create a new StreamResult to the output stream you want to use.
   StreamResult result = new StreamResult(new File("/Users/admin/Desktop/users.xml"));
   // StreamResult result = new StreamResult(System.out); // to print on console

   // 6. Use transform method to write the DOM object to the output stream.
   transformer.transform(source, result);  

   System.out.println("File created successfully");
 }

//Root Element
Element root=new Element("CONFIGURATION");
Document doc=new Document();
//Element 1
Element child1=new Element("BROWSER");
//Element 1 Content
child1.addContent("chrome");
//Element 2
Element child2=new Element("BASE");
//Element 2 Content
child2.addContent("http:fut");
//Element 3
Element child3=new Element("EMPLOYEE");
//Element 3 --> In this case this element has another element with Content
child3.addContent(new Element("EMP_NAME").addContent("Anhorn, Irene"));

//Add it in the root Element
root.addContent(child1);
root.addContent(child2);
root.addContent(child3);
//Define root element like root
doc.setRootElement(root);
//Create the XML
XMLOutputter outter=new XMLOutputter();
outter.setFormat(Format.getPrettyFormat());
outter.output(doc, new FileWriter(new File("myxml.xml")));
