I'm pretty sure it was used internally to support the org.apache.myfaces.PRETTY_HTML parameter, which was removed on November 13, 2013.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-3822 This issue also includes remove unused params like: org.apache.myfaces.PRETTY_HTML Reason : never worked well, modern browsers has support for debugging, makes rendering slow. You can find the complete change-set here: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1541762 One possibility is to navigate from the change-set to the previous version of HtmlRendererUtils which contained writePrettyLineSeparator() and copy that method (or the entire file) into your project. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/myfaces/core/trunk/shared/src/main/java/org/apache/myfaces/shared/renderkit/html/HtmlRendererUtils.java?view=markup&pathrev=1519698 but since the method does very little, you are probably better off not using it at all and calling "facesContext.getResponseWriter().write(LINE_SEPARATOR);" directly. if (org.apache.myfaces.shared.config.MyfacesConfig.getCurrentInstance(facesContext.getExternalContext()).isPrettyHtml()) { facesContext.getResponseWriter().write(LINE_SEPARATOR); } On Fri, May 22, 2015 at 2:48 PM, khush N <kbnavl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I am using myfaces 2.2.7 version and found that > HtmlRendererUtils.writePrettyLineSeparator() method is missing.
