[jdom-interest] Re: Hard-Coded Newlines

[Joseph Bowbeer]

Adding a property to XMLOutputter for controlling the newline(s) after the
xml declaration should solve this.

As you point out, this configuration needs to be separate from any element
content formatting options, since one affects content and the other doesn't.

By the way, I like having a newline or two by default, as in b6.

OK, this was added between b5 and b6. [...] We can't know exactly how the
whitespace outside the element structure looks, but we guess that you didn't
put the root element on the first line and thus add a new line.  :-)
