Hey,

I tried to use the pretty printer for my xml files. I read the doku but I did not get it
working. After I added two missing packages to the classpath I do not get
any errormessages:

One test was:

<component class="org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator">
<metaModel class="org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfRegistryMetaModel "/>
<fileEncoding value="UTF-8"/>
<expand value="templates::Test::main FOR model"/>
<outlet path="${targetDir}" >
<postprocessor class="org.eclipse.xpand2.output.XmlBeautifier" />
</outlet>
</component>

But I does not have any effect! Must the file name end with xml? I tried both but it does not matter. I got no effect. What did I wrong?

Thank you!

Hi No Real Name,

I filled in a bug as I encountered this problem too. You may also add your XML that is not formatted. Maybe the XmlBeautifier has a problem with a certain structure in our XMLs. While this bug is not fixed yet you may use the org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.xsd.XMLBeautifier as your beautifier. In order to use it you have to add the org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.xsd to your plugin dependencies.

Cheers,
Joerg

I had the same problem and tried org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.xsd.XMLBeautifier. It works, but it is so slow that it is not possible to use. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. No cpu usage, but a lot of network usage while beutifying.

I will continue and use this instead:
<beautifier class="org.fornax.utilities.formatter.xml.XmlFormatter"/>

<dependency>
<groupId>org.fornax.utilities</groupId>
<artifactId>fornax-utilities-formatter-xml</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
