[jdom-interest] Re: bloated RC2 files - extra white space

[michael.baehr at multivisual.de]

Well, our application uses white space in Text elements, also at the end 
of the element. Normalizing/trimming will definitely break it. We have 
thousands of such documents in several databases!

I wrote my own XMLOutputter for an older jdom version, than deleted it as 
it worked fine in b8 (and a version I got from the CVS a couple of weeks 
ago to fix the StringBuffer problem). Now I get bloated files again :-((

I think there should be settings so one gets out of XMLOutputter exactly 
what was parsed in before.

Will have a look at the changes!
