Is there any way of - through another plug-in, programmatically - doing
what WST does when you right-click an xml-file and choose:
"Source"->"Format"?
I found someone who had a similar problem quite a while ago, but since the
thread is a monologue, it isn't very helpful.
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.webtools/msg12 104.html
I've been trying to use:
org.eclipse.wst.xml.core.internal.provisional.format.FormatP rocessorXML
I've found no other (less ...provisional) Class for this.
This does work, despite the access being discouraged, but so far only for
String input. When I run the 'formatDocument(IDocument)' method, I get a
NPE on line 138 in
org.eclipse.wst.sse.core.internal.format.AbstractStructuredF ormatProcessor
(R_2_0_2), because the structuredModel variable is null. The IDocument I
supply is from a JET transformation (and isn't null). Is there something
special expected of the supplied IDocument, or is there something I've
forgotten to init before calling the method?
Thanks in advance for any pointers whatsoever,
Anders

You just need to use the same method without the "existing" part,
getModelForEdit(IFile).
