[jdom-interest] Formatting differences after migrating to JDOM2

[Rolf]

Hi Robert.

This is surprising indeed, and I agree it should not be different from 
JDOM 1.x

Can you get me a copy of the input file and the relevant parts of Java 
code? You don't need to CC the whole list it is large...

Thanks

Rolf
