Xerces 1.0.2: Comments nodes are not printed properly by the serializer
IMHO. The following is the patch I've made for
org.apache.xml.serialize.BaseMarkupSerializer:
Index: BaseMarkupSerializer.java
===================================================================
RCS file:
/home/cvspublic/xml-xerces/java/src/org/apache/xml/serialize/BaseMarkupSerializer.java,v
retrieving revision 1.10

Before the patch, the output file looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<ele1>
<ele2 attr1="attrval1"/><!-- This is a comment --></ele1>
</root>
After the patch, the output file looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<ele1>
<ele2 attr1="attrval1"/>
<!-- This is a comment -->
</ele1>
</root>
However, the bad news is comment that span multiple lines still is
printed on a single line. I couldn't figure out how to fix this.
