[jdom-interest] XMLOutputter

[Corcos Igal]

I guess there is a mistake in "Java and XML" by Brett McLaughlin or maybe
this was the default in the version of JDOM Brett refers to in his book.

Thanks for the info Steven.
Igal.

Igal,

The default XMLOutputter does not add any indentation or newlines, so the
results you
got are correct. The javadoc for the XMLOutputter default constructor
states:

>>>
This will create an XMLOutputter with no additional whitespace (indent or
new lines)
added;
<<<
