[jdom-interest] Formatting XML

[Rolf]

Hi Oliver....

Raw format is intended to output the file in the same format as it was 
imported.... so, if you raw format output a file that was pretty to 
start with, it will be unchanged.

Perhaps you are looking for Format.getCompactFormat().

I just wrote a small test program, and ran it against a file that has an 
uncommon format. I can confirm that getPrettyFormat() makes it pretty, 
getRawFormat leaves u unchanged, and getCompactFormat makes it all on 
one line....
