Method

VectorgetVectorPathFromNode(Node node)
get Vector Path From Node 
Vector path = new Vector();
while (node != null) {
    path.insertElementAt(node, 0);
    node = node.getParentNode();
return path;
StringpathTo(Node xmlNode)
path To 
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
for (Node node = xmlNode; node != null; node = node.getParentNode()) {
    if (node.getNodeType() == Node.DOCUMENT_NODE)
        result.insert(0, node.getNodeName());
    else
        result.insert(0, " -> " + node.getNodeName());
return result.toString();
...
StringpathUp(Node node, int level)
calculates the path of the node up in the hierarchy, example of result is project/build/plugins/plugin level parameter designates the number of parents to climb eg. 
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
int current = level;
while ((node != null) && (current > 0)) {
    if (node instanceof Element) {
        if (buf.length() > 0) {
            buf.insert(0, "/");
        buf.insert(0, node.getNodeName());
...
StringpathUp(Node node, int level)
path Up 
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
int current = level;
while (node != null && current > 0) {
    if (node instanceof Element) {
        if (buf.length() > 0) {
            buf.insert(0, "/");
        buf.insert(0, node.getNodeName());
