INTRODUCTION

This is a simple script for pretty-re-formatting Maven pom.xml stanzas.

Requirements

• Ruby

USAGE

There are two primary use modes, as a Textmate plugin, and as a stand-alone CLI app (for taking the output and pasting it into a less-macho editor).

CLI

[from ~dependencySpacer checkout dir]ruby spacer.rb /path/to/pom.xml

Textmate

• Go into the Bundle Editor
• Go into the XML drop-down
• Use the "Add command" button
• I entitled my command "Dependency Prettyify"
• Paste 'plugin' into that box
• Change the scope to text.xml
• Make sure the Ruby shebang at the top is present
• Edit a pom.xml file
• Hi-light from the left gutter the tag all the way through the tag
• Select the command
• Use command+] to re-indent as needed
