Why would "Format" Context Menu Not Work for XML?

[tomwheel]

I have a custom project type for an application based on the NetBeans
IDE 6.7.1.  The project contains an XML file and double-clicking it
opens it in the editor, complete with syntax highlighting and the
other features I expect from the IDE.

The context menu contains the "Format (Ctrl+Shift+F)" item. Although
it's enabled, invoking it by either the menu item or keybinding has no
effect -- the document is never formatted.  I can repeat this for any
XML file in the application, whether I open it from the project tab or
through Favorites.

Any ideas on what I need to do to get this to work?  My guess would be
to enable some module, though it's not clear which one.

Nevermind.  I enabled everything in the ide11 cluster and it started
working.  Now I just need to work on narrowing down which one.
