I have an XML file that is not formatted correctly, but when I right-click on the file and choose the option ‘Format Source Code’ nothing happens, i.e. the XML keeps unformatted.

Henrique,
I don’t think you are using our XML editor as it does not support formatting and doesn’t display that option in the context menu on my machine. If you right click on the XML file and go to “Open With…” and select MyEclipse XML Editor, you should be set.

If you are still seeing this problem, let me know and I’ll look into it. Maybe you have XMen or XMLBuddy installed?

rkalla,

I did open my xml file with MyEclipse XML Editor and the option in the right-click over the opened document remains.

Actually, there is under

<MYECLIPSE_HOME>\eclipse\plugins

a folder named

com.genuitec.eclipse.xmen_2.7.101

, but I think it is installed with MyEclipse.

If you ask I can place links to screenshots of my actions.

By the way, if there isn´t such feature, it could be revised because it is very useful.

Thank you for investigating so thoroughly. The com.genuitec.eclipse.xmen plugin is ours, that’s ok to have there. If you don’t mind posting a screenshot that would be much appreciated, in the mean time I wasn’t able to verify your findings on Linux, but I will try it later on a Windows machine to see if its a platform-specific issue.

As far as requesting XML formatting, comming with the 3.9 release we should address this as we aer going to work hard to consolidate our editors and their respective functionalities better together.

Henrique,
Thank you for the screenshots, I see what you mean but I was unable to reproduce this with the 2.8beta1 release on Linux or Windows.

I also don’t have the “Team >” menu on my context menu either… what plugins do you have installed?

Either way, I think we are in agreement that this post as turned into a request since the XML editor doesn’t support formatting, and I’ll let you know that its been entered in the system along side some other XML Editor enhancements.

My plugins are:

MyEclipseIDE
Jigloo (SWING and SWT) *
JsEditor (JavaScript)
DBExplorer (Database) *
VSSPlugin (VCS) – the “Team” menu
EclipseUML (UML) *

* The Format Source Code menu does not belong to any of these plugins. It was there before I installed the plugins.
