XML - Generating a file with CR LF (Format)

Question

I'm stuck. I appologize, but have not been able to find a CLEAR example of exporting/creating an XML file based upon inputs. I am actually creating the file, but the XML is all "bunched" on one line. Is it possible to get line breaks and indents?
Here is the output (It's on two lines (One for <?XML /> One for the rest):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<department><!--The first employee description--><employee id="J.D."><name>John Doe</name><email>[email protected]</email></employee><?application commandForApp?></department>
Here is the source:

          try {
               // Creates Document Object
               String documentImpl = "org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl";
               Document doc = (Document)Class.forName(documentImpl).newInstance();
               // Creates <department> element as root
               Element root = doc.createElement("department");
               // Sets the element as root
               doc.appendChild(root);
               // Creates comment node
               root.appendChild(doc.createComment("The first employee description"));
               // Creates <employee> elements and its text content, and adds it
               Element employee = doc.createElement("employee");
               employee.setAttribute("id", "J.D.");
               root.appendChild(employee);

               // The XML document is output to standard output
               FileWriter writer = new FileWriter("C:/zzzzz.xml");
               XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(System.out, formatter);
               XMLSerializer serializer2 = new XMLSerializer(writer, formatter);
               /* DOESN'T WORK
               XMLOutputter op = new XMLOutputter();
               op.setNewlines(true);
               op.setIndent(" ");
               FileWriter writer = new FileWriter("C:/zzzzz.xml");
               op.output(doc, writer);
               // Serializes the DOM tree as an XML document
               serializer.serialize(doc);

Guys,
I have the same problem. But looking at this link i tried. The method parameters is what causes the problem.
XMLOutputter.output(org.jdom.Document,java.io.outputStream).
I have is org.w3c.dom.Document. How to go about this ? I believe BMWM3LUV when saying 'required re-writing' he/she meant writing the entire code with jdom objects.
Please help.
