In 6.1, old xml formatter was deprecated and we rewrote a lexer based formatter. By doing so we introduced few new issues. The lack of unit tests makes the job of fixing these issues a bit difficult. Here are a list of issues that we should try to address in 6.5: http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=132586 http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=135478 http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=122501 http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=131223 http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=135107
As a first step, lets add a unit test framework, so that each use-case can be taken care of.
Added unit test support for formatting: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/cb5a0c2f4013.
One more on formatting, see issue 135297.
