[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-13035) Mave Repositories : TextMerge Preview always shows whitespace changes on Windows

Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-13035:
---------------------------------------
The issue is caused by a non-system line delimiter. You see an invalid leading space
character, but the real issue is the result of a line ending character(s).
The issue can easily be fixed if you convert the settings.xml by editing it on Windows or
using the unix2dos utility.
Changing the line delimiter in the Eclipse preferences won't help for already created
files.
The mentioned workaround can't be used for git because it invalidates files again when
committing/pushing.

On Windows, the Maven Repositories wizard's preview pane always shows whitespace
changes, diminishing the preview usefulness.

I tried to mess with the code a bit but to no avail. I suspected some line endings
weirdness, but it seems to be really a problem with white spaces. I tried to compare the
contents of my original settings.xml, to the contents in both panels, using an hex editor,
they really are identical.
I don't have any issue on linux.
