On Windows, the Maven Repositories wizard's preview pane always shows whitespace changes, diminishing the preview usefulness.

I tried to mess with the code a bit but to no avail. I suspected some line endings weirdness, but it seems to be really a problem with white spaces. I tried to compare the contents of my original settings.xml, to the contents in both panels, using an hex editor, they really are identical.

I don't have any issue on linux.
