Description Václav Chalupa 2014-04-03 05:58:12 UTC

Description of problem:

BPMN designer ignore user settings for XML files formatting and always use 2 spaces for indentation.

How reproducible:

Set 'Indend using tabs' (or different settings then 2 spaces) in eclipse preferences - XML Files formatting, create process with BPMN designer and see generated BPMN XML.

Actual results:

Generated BPMN XML source file has always 2 spaces for indentation.

Expected results:

Generated BPMN XML source file follows the specified XML formatting settings.

Comment 2 Robert (Bob) Brodt 2016-01-21 18:02:38 UTC

This is probably an issue in the XML serializer used by EMF. I don't think it even knows about the XML editor's preferences; not sure what I can do about that...

Comment 3 Robert (Bob) Brodt 2016-02-05 14:42:15 UTC

There are only a few XML serialization "tweaks" available through the EMF public API; these are not controlled by the XML Editor's preference settings and, as far as I can tell, none of these control whether tab or space indenting is used.

See http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/emf/javadoc/2.4.2/org/eclipse/emf/ecore/xmi/XMLResource.html for more info.

Closing this BZ as Won't Fix
