That's exactly the default behavior. Unless you tell XMLOutputter to 
do something funny with the white space, it will reproduce what it 
started with.

There is a potential issue that the parser, not JDOM but the parser, 
occasionally normalizes particular white space in attribute values, 
and converts carriage returns to line feeds. But XMLOutputter works 
with what it gets from the parser unless you tell it to do something 
different.
