[jdom-interest] setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace inoperant ?

[Jason Hunter]

Not all whitespace is ignorable.  Ignorability comes from the DTD where 
the parser knows certain sections are element only so the whitespace 
doesn't matter.

Now, if you output from JDOM with a compact format then JDOM will strip 
the whitespace for you.
