Format and Indent in Oxygen 7.2 Eclipse Plugin - Line Seps

[Steve Mallen]

Hi,

I'm having problems with Eclipse 3.2.2 and the Oxygen 7.2 plugin.

All my XSL files have the 'System Default' (Windows) Line Endings. When using 'Format and Indent' from the Standalone application, the line endings are preserved.

However, when using the Oxygen plugin in Eclipse, 'Format and Indent' causes XSL files to contain a mixture of Unix-like and Windows-like line separators. This in turn causes SVN to complain about 'inconsisent line endings'.

There does not appear to be any options for the plugin to control line ending behaviour. It also seems to be a problem only with the 'Format and Indent' function.

Has anyone else experienced this, and does anyone have a solution?

Many thanks,
-Steve/

Hello,

Before version 8.2 the oXygen plugin inserted the default end of line character of the platform where it runs as end of line character. Starting with version 8.2 the oXygen plugin does the same as the Eclipse text editor: detects the end of line character of the first line of the file and uses it as end of line for all lines inserted in the file. This allows for example to insert Windows end of line characters on a Unix machine if the file was created on Windows so the first line ends with #13 #10.

If you install the 8.2 version of the plugin the inserted end of line characters should not be mixed any more.
