[jdom-interest] BUG: XMLOutputter inserts extra empty lines

[kevin.schmidt at convergys.com]

I noticed this also.  I didnt know if it was a bug or not though...
I am using a much larger XML file and dont really want the blank lines.
     Please fix it!     ;v)

Subject:  [jdom-interest] BUG: XMLOutputter inserts extra empty lines


When I read an XML file and save it back with
XMLOutputter the result document contains extra empty
lines before some closing tags which are on separate
lines.
However, there is no extra empty lines when I compose
exactly the same document as JDom object in code and
then print it with XMLOutputter. Obviously, this is
some problem in the outputter with handling space
between tags.

I use JDom Beta 7.

Please, let me know in case I missed something.
Is there any workaround for this problem?

Code which reads/writes XML:

SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
Document doc = builder.build(
    new File("employees.xml"));

XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter();
outputter.setNewlines(true);
outputter.setIndent(true);
outputter.setTextNormalize(true);
String docStr = outputter.outputString(doc);
System.out.println(docStr);

The original XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<employees>
  <employee id="1" title="developer"
first-name="first-name1" last-name="last-name1">
    <picture>apalamarchuk.jpeg</picture>
    <profile>Design, coding, debugging; goto
design;</profile>
  </employee>
  <employee id="2" title="developer"
first-name="first-name2" last-name="last-name2">
    <picture>mmiller.jpeg</picture>
    <profile>Design, coding, debugging, riding bike;
goto design;</profile>
  </employee>
  <employee id="3" title="manager"
first-name="first-name3" last-name="last-name3">
    <picture>mbaara.jpeg</picture>
    <profile>Manage employees 1 and 2.</profile>
  </employee>
</employees>

The resulting XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<employees>
  <employee id="1" title="developer"
first-name="first-name1" last-name="last-name1">
    <picture>apalamarchuk.jpeg</picture>
    <profile>Design, coding, debugging; goto
design;</profile>

  </employee>
  <employee id="2" title="developer"
first-name="first-name2" last-name="last-name2">
    <picture>mmiller.jpeg</picture>
    <profile>Design, coding, debugging, riding bike;
goto design;</profile>

  </employee>
  <employee id="3" title="manager"
first-name="first-name3" last-name="last-name3">
    <picture>mbaara.jpeg</picture>
    <profile>Manage employees 1 and 2.</profile>

  </employee>

</employees>
