Calling Format Programmatically [message #218852]

I have a multi-page editor that has a form page and a source page and I
would like to call the Format action on the source page when they switch
from the Form page to the Source after any changes, since adding elements
to it currently messes up the format. Is there any way to make that call
or do I need to use external tools to make it format properly?

I have found the solution to this:

ICommandService cmdService = (ICommandService)
getSite().getService(ICommandService.class);
Command format =
cmdService.getCommand("org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.format.document ");
if (format.isDefined()) {
try {
format.executeWithChecks(new ExecutionEvent());
} catch ... exceptions ...}
