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

[Snjezana Peco (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13035?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12733521#comment-12733521 ] 

Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-13035:
---------------------------------------

The issue occurs when you use the settings.xml file with a non-system line delimiter (if you, for instance, have created a file on Linux or you have changed the "New text file line delimiter" property in Eclipse and created a file). 
The Maven Configuration wizard creates a new settings using the system line delimiter. That settings is different from the settings.xml.
The issue will disappear after saving the file the first time.
Not sure if we need to do anything related to this issue since the wizard creates the settings.xml file with the system line delimiter, but the issue happens only when using a file that has a non-system delimiter.

> 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, there really are identical. 
> I don't have any issue on linux.
