IDE: "Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers" 2023-06
Newly installed by eclipse installer 2023-05-11) with clean workspace

Project: New (simple) Maven Project, type: pom

The pom.xml of the project is opened by default with the Maven POM editor.

But it is not possible to format the pom.xml.

• neither using keys CTRL-SHIFT-F
• nor using context menu
• or using the eclipse menu bar:

Opening the same pom.xml file in default XML editor it is possible to format file:

I do not know if it's related but in the second screenshot there are two "source" entries in the eclipse menu bar.

@mickaelistria can you take a look here?

I cannot reproduce it with latest snapshots:

• Language Server Protocol client for Eclipse IDE (Incubation) 0.17.0.202308160724 org.eclipse.lsp4e Eclipse.org
• Wild Web Developer XML tools 1.3.0.202308101707 org.eclipse.wildwebdeveloper.xml.feature.feature.group Eclipse Wild Web Developer project
• M2E - POM Editor using LemMinX language server (includes Incubating components) 2.0.5.20230815-1219 org.eclipse.m2e.lemminx.feature.feature.group Eclipse.org - m2e

@JoMWal please try those snapshots from the various sources (it can be a bit of a maze to get them all at once, so feel free to ask if you feel stuck).

Hi,
@mickaelistria I tried it with the suggested versions from the snapshot repositories and you are right, it works without issues.

*** Plug-in Registry:
org.eclipse.lsp4e (0.17.0.202308160724) "Language Server Protocol client for Eclipse IDE (Incubation)" [Active]
..
org.eclipse.m2e.editor (2.0.301.20230809-1423) "M2E Maven POM File Editor" [Active]
org.eclipse.m2e.editor.lemminx (2.0.4.20230815-1219) "M2E Maven POM File Editor using Wild Web Developer, LemMinX and Maven LS extension (requires Incubating components)" [Resolved]
..
org.eclipse.wildwebdeveloper.xml (1.3.0.202308101707) "XML support using Language Server" [Active]

So I guess this issue can be closed.

Thank you!

Same issue: pom editor: format source not working #493.

And another including it Pom.xml editor doesn't have all the features it previously did #458:
