Description dbryant 2007-10-03 12:47:08 UTC 
Hi,

The xml editor in the version 6.0 Beta 1 (Build 200709141330) does not appear to format (pretty print) xml code e.g. the
following code in my web.xml file will not format:

<filter>
        <filter-name>DWRSecurityFilter</filter-name>
        <filter-class>com.xxx.security.DWRSecurityFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>
<filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>DWRSecurityFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/dwr/exec/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>

Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200710120000)
Java: 1.5.0_07; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_07-87
System: Mac OS X version 10.4.10 running on i386; MacRoman; en_US (nb)

If I paste the code into a new xml document then format the code, reformatting works.

There is a new formatter in place. Please check with a new build.

Code snippet from this issue as well as tinkering with malformed code then formatting works and is pretty.
