Description Curtis d'Entremont CLA 2004-06-10 11:06:05 EDT 
This is something to think about for the future..

I would like to be able to format my plugin.xml file, in the same way as with 
the JDT and java source files. This would involve having a preference page for 
the style/formatting, then hitting CTRL-SHIFT-F would reformat my plugin.xml 
file in a nice consistent format.
Comment 1 Mike Pawlowski CLA 2006-06-20 12:20:12 EDT 
Janek has implemented the format MANIFEST.MF functionality and will 
concentrate on the format plugin.xml functionality at a later date.

Work done with respect to the format MANIFEST.MF functionality

* Moved the "Format" context menu entry to the top-level under "Open" action
  - added mnemonics

* Refactored "Format" context menu contribution to the PDESourcePage
  - disabled contribution for all pages except the BundleSourcePage

* Added Format manifest action to the PDEFormEditorContributor class

* Created extensions to implement the Ctrl+Shift+F key binding
  - disabled key binding for all pages except the BundleSourcePage
  - externalized all strings for extension point names and descriptions

* Refactored FormatManifestAction to the actions package
  - created new interface for PDE editor action definition IDs

Hi Mike, just checking in :)

I was wondering if you have found time to work on this bug.  If your other work is taking all your time please let me know and we can go ahead and take care of it.

Any progress on formatting plugin.xml files? I'd really love to see this. Looking into plugin.xml files really can hurt your eyes at times, mostly due to formatting issues (using tabs and spaces on the same line and stuff like that).
Comment 9 Mike Pawlowski CLA 2008-12-05 10:30:24 EST 
Unfortunately no.
Haven't been able to find spare time in a long time to do PDE work.
As a result, I will return this back to the inbox.
