JChannelFactory fails to parse configuration and gives a contradictory error message
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JGRP-818
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JGRP-818
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.6.3
            Reporter: David Green
            Assignee: Bela Ban


JConfigurationFactory gives the following error message when parsing the attached configuration file:

{noformat}
invalid XML configuration: XML protocol stack configuration does not start with a '<config>' element; maybe the XML configuration needs to be converted to the new format ?
use 'java org.jgroups.conf.XmlConfigurator <old XML file> -new_format' to do so
{noformat}

The attached file does indeed start with a 'config' element.  Looking at the code, JConfigurationFactory is actually looking for a 'protocol_stacks' root element.

the error message in JConfigurationFactory should be fixed.  

Furthermore, the -new_format argument doesn't appear to be accepted by XmlConfigurator.  XmlConfigurator also seems to like the XML file if it starts with <config>.  So which is the right format?  All of the examples provided with the distribution start with <config>.
