Re: [wtp-dev] Choose XML Formatter based on Priority

Does the android xml have it's own "content type"? If not, could it? (i.e. needs "quick and easy detection, ideally based on only a few lines of input).

While it's a VERY old memory, I *think* that's how formatter is currently chosen?  

And, yes, "priority" was often seen as solving problems, but there were concerns about how that's work "in the wild" -- you know, everyone "wants highest priority". :)
(But, I'm not saying something couldn't be done ... just not sure.

It probably could be added to the existing formatter.  They just wanted the attributes to line up differently in many cases.  I'll have to do a comparison between the two to see what are the main functional differences.

Btw. What is so special about the android xml to not just be handled by a normal xml formatter?

Could it be fixed by improving the default xml formatter ?

In the Andmore project we have an inheritted the ADT XML formater.  Right now it is taking precedence over any other formatter.  So when you try to do a Source->Format on a project and you have the ADT plugins installed, the XML Formatter from ADT is taking over for all XML files.   I checked the extension point, and there doesn't seem to be a way to specify that particular XML formatters should affect only particular files or content types.  This works correctly though if you format within an Editor as the editors control what formatter is used.

I have an open feature request to extend this mechanism so we can get finer grained control and only have the Andmore formatter affect the andmore related files.
