Eclipse formatting

[Oliver Gierke]

Is there a formatting preferences file for eclipse available to ensure
code formatting? I'd like to help implementing a few features but fear
to mess up a lot of existing code by using the autoformatting feature
of Eclipse.

Regards,
Ollie

There is a jalopy.xml file. With maven you can run mvn jalopy:format which will format all the files in the project to the rules specified in jalopy.xml

It's the best that we have right now.

There is no such file.

Right now we are trying to setup jalopy plugin, but there are some
roadblocks on the way, see

My choice is 'Format edited lines on save' feature available in the
latest 3.4, see

jalopy.xml from svn and http://jalopy.sourceforge.net/jalopy-eclipse/
may be a solution, but we don't have a formatting preferences file for
eclipse ;-)

IDEA is a great product, but... I use Eclipse.

I'll check out the jalopy.xml file ;). Thanks for the info, guys.

I think issue #58 fixed. So don't worry about formatting, just run 'mvn
jalopy:format' or 'mvn package' and sources would be formatted
automatically.

Btw, I use Maven Integration for Eclipse
(http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/). It works great for me ;-)
