Default behaviour changed from AbstractDeclarativeFormatter to AbstractFormatter2? [message #1756075]

Hi,

I have a very simple DSL file to set various simple settings for code generation. E.g.

generatorSettings: Ecf1LfExtractionGenSettings {
	componentSettings: Ecf1LfExtractionGenComponentSettings {
		generateMetaInfo: true;
		generateProcess: false;
		generateServices: false;
		generateWsdl: false;
		generateTraverser: notSet&;
		initObjectsInFactory: true;
		prefix: "PREFIX_";
		...
	}
}

With the old formatting API I just had to take care of the indentation after the brackets and the AbstractDeclarativeFormatter inserted automatically one space after each of my keywords. E.g.

generateWsdl:false;

was formatted as

generateWsdl: false;

With the new AbstractFormatter2 it seems to me that I have to append the spaces after each keyword by myself. Since I have many keywords, is there any possibility to implement the formating in a generic way by iterating over all keywords? I couldn't find any method which returns all keywords from my grammar (of course I could use reflection to extract all keywords from my GrammarAccess object, but I would prefer a cleaner solution).

Best regards
Florian
