actually this one is probably a duplicate on an ancient bug file by Gilles Dodinet.
IMHO a showstopper for any automated modifications from the IDE.

we're going to be doing a lot of work on encoding and other things related to parsing the POM in 2.1, including switching off of the xpp3 API altogether. Also, we'll be able to merge in the new incarnation of the embedder then. FWIW, I think this bug should wait for those changes, otherwise we risk re-solving this problem later.

The WriterUtils are now being used and this is the best we have right now for preserving the format.
