The formatter removes multiple whitespaces from my dsl. Is it possible to disable the OneWhitespaceFormatter? For my DSL is important to leave the whitespaces in some cases (print formatting).

Usually one would implement the formatter that it doesn't remove the whitespace you need.

However, you can disable the formatter in the editor by putting

public Class<? extends IContentFormatterFactory> bindIContentFormatterFactory() {
  return null;
}

into your MyLanguageUIModule.

Also note that there is a new formatter API on the horizon:
