[jdom-interest] bloated RC2 files - extra white space

[Abe Mishler]

I did truncate after <b:c> at the bottom (way at the bottom) due to the 
incredible length of the file (it grew from 142kb to over 184kb solely due 
to inexplicable added whitespace.) Other files were trippling in size. I 
thought I had included just enough of the file to show the problem I was 
facing; my apologies for any confusion.

The problem has been solved with the addition of calling 
setTextNormalize(true). I'm somewhat embarrassed I didn't think of that on 
my own; I am curious as to what changes were made between versions 8 and 9 
that in effect mandates this additional call to generate "normal" files 
(the absence of it in 8 didn't explode my files.) Does this place JDOM in 
stricter compliance with xml generation somehow? That doesn't seem quite 
right. Perhaps a ... bug? ... that would seem more logical. *Shrug*, in any 
case my files are slim and trim again, w00t!

Thanks for such fast responses from all who replied,
