Eclipse: auto format XML files on save

Is it possible to somehow auto-format when saving XML files in Eclipse?

I know it's possible to do it for Java files, but I would like it to happen for XML files as well.

Specifically, I'm using and loving the auto format feature for XML files while developing for Android, as Android is quite heavy on using XML files.

+2  A: 

It's been requested in WTP (bug 221696), but for now increasing the formatter's quality and speed in general has a higher priority.
