Bug 317784

Description michael.t 2010-06-24 04:25:15 EDT

In the current implementation of the formatter, you can't have different rules for new lines insertion after annotations on member variables and methods.
There is just a "Insert new line after annotations on members" options which encompass both member variables and methods.

We use annotation for a GUI framework and I would like the formatter to format this way:

Class SomeGUI
{
    @FormComponent JLabel nameLbl;
    @FormComponent JTextField nameTxt;
    
    
    @FormEvent
    private void nameChanged()
    {
        doSomethingUsefull();
    }
    
    [...]
}

So fields (member variables) on the same line, but insert a new line for annotation on methods.
I'm willing to contribute if someone give me a pointer to get me started.
