JDK packaged JAXP transformer indent no longer working in OpenJDK 11 (original) (raw)

Hi JDK devs,

we recently started to upgrade from OpenJDK 8 to 11 and noticed that the Xalan transformer shipped with the JDK is not handling whitespace indentation properly anymore. Whilst it is not impacting the validity of the XML produced, it is rather annoying that indented results now have extra line breaks. E.g. we post-process some generated XSD files for publication but when done in OpenJDK 11 they look horrible.

There are a few people seeing this issue:

https://github.com/CodeFX-org/java-9-wtf/tree/master/xml-transformer

It may be related to the changes made in this ticket:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8087303

Would it be possible for someone with permissions to raise a defect for this?
