Sorry about that.
Actually I didn't really want to change other whitespace. I just had Oxygen re-format the XML with 2 space indents (which I thought was the rule).
Any suggestions how to set the Oxygen so that it is in sync what everybody else uses.
There are only guidelines, not rules. The best thing to do is to turn off all auto formating, ensure your editor uses spaces not tabs and edit files in the same style that they already exists.
I struggled with this myself for a while as I was used to working in teams with a clear set of rules. However, it seems Open Source never works this way because of the range of tools, preffered styles, operating systems etc.
