Eclipse XML formatter inserts unneeded line breaks

Question

Eclipse Version: Indigo Service Release 2

I can't get my XML formatter to do the job right.

When I apply formatter to this

<execution>
<id>compile</id>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
</goals>
</execution>

i get this

<execution>

    <id>
compile
    </id>

    <phase>
compile
    </phase>

    <goals>

        <goal>
compile
        </goal>
    </goals>

</execution>

I want it to format like this:

<execution>
    <id>compile</id>
    <phase>compile</phase>
    <goals>
        <goal>compile</goal>
    </goals>
</execution>

I tried different options in XML -> XML Files -> Editor but none seems to work.
Thank you.

Answer 1

The problem was in Android Editor, that was the default XML editor for me.

Two options to resolve this issue:

• Use Eclipse XML editor Open With -> XML Editor
• Disable "Standard Android XML style" in Android -> Editors
