How to process a different part in docx using docx4j

[neversaydie]

Hi

In SVN, HeaderPart and FooterPart are now JAXB XML Parts.

I haven't tested them yet, but they should work for opening an existing document (containing headers/footers).

For marshalling, i suspect tomorrow I will need to change things a little, so JAXB knows whether to marshall it as a header or a footer in a given case.

cheers

Jason
