1This plugin provides a minor extension to the ADT plugin to support
2XML formatting via the "Source > Format" action on files.

4The reason the plugin package name starts with the word "overlay"
5instead of the normal "com.android.eclipse" package is that the plugin
6name *must* be alphabetically later than "org.eclipse". The reasons
7for this is detailed in issue
8 http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=20450
9but essentially the plugin registration to override the
10formatProcessor is processed in the alphabetical order of the plugin
11names, so the org.eclipse plugin would clobber the com.android.eclipse
12plugin. To work around this, the specific registration code was moved
13out to a separate plugin, but the formatter itself continues to live
14in ADT.
