Description

Tests in the SCXMLWriterTest use StaX to transform SCXML to a pretty printed output and then compare this to a predefined expected output.
However this is not reliable across Java compilers as to how pretty printing is precisely done.
In this case, with (Oracle) Java 6, a newline is inserted between the XML declaration and the root element, while on (Oracle) Java 7 no such newline is added. As result these tests fail with Java 7.

For these tests I think it is easy to fix: there is no functional need (here) to compare the XML output pretty formatted, so I simply removed the pretty printing and adjusted the predefined String to compare against.

I'll attach a patch file shortly.
