Description err 2007-03-11 06:25:04 UTC 
I did a find on a mime type (I don't recall exactly, maybe text/java) and
IndentEngine.find returned plain or simple, because they would accept that mime
type. With the debugger I looked and there was a more appropriate IndentEngine
in the enumeration. (Sorry, this happened days ago and I forgot to file it).

As a workaround, I did lookup to get BaseOptions then getIndentEngine().
Comment 1 Miloslav Metelka 2007-03-27 12:57:49 UTC 
IMHO the concept of IndentEngine.find(mimetype) is wrong. Maybe I'm missing
something but I do not see any way how to ensure that the most appropriate IE
will be selected for the given mime-type so the method should be deprecated and
removed.
As a workaround please always use IE.find(doc). BTW both IE.indent* methods and
IE.createWriter() take the document parameter anyway so you *need* to have the
document (javadoc does not mention null to be an allowed value).
Reassigning to openide/editor for further evaluation.
Comment 2 Jaroslav Tulach 2007-06-29 20:42:14 UTC 
In case I do not have a document, what steps should be done to find the right IE?
Comment 3 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2008-04-17 15:14:32 UTC 
Reassigning to new module owner mslama.
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2009-10-20 17:16:19 UTC 
IndentEngine itself is now deprecated.
