Description Xavier Méhaut CLA 2002-03-21 05:07:41 EST 
Hello,
I would suggest a little improvement to the formating capability.
The formater could eliminate blank lines ,except maybe one , between methods 
description. If there is no blank line betwwen two methods, the formater could 
also add one automatically.
It could beautify the whole file contents.
regards
Xavier

Examples :

	/**
	 * Constructor for PropertyParameterEntity.
	 */
	public PropertyParameterEntity() {
		super();
	}
//blank
//blank
//blank
//blank
	/**
	 * Constructor for PropertyParameterEntity.
	 * @param aName
	 */
	public PropertyParameterEntity(String aName) {
         ...
would become
	/**
	 * Constructor for PropertyParameterEntity.
	 */
	public PropertyParameterEntity() {
		super();
	}
//blank
	/**
	 * Constructor for PropertyParameterEntity.
	 * @param aName
	 */
	public PropertyParameterEntity(String aName) {
        /...

Comment 3 Xavier Méhaut CLA 2002-03-21 05:32:02 EST 
Sorry again...
There is still a case where it is not running ;
Example :
	/**
	 * OperationEntity constructor comment.
	 */
	public OperationEntity() {
		super();
	}// NO BLANK LINE BETWEEN METHODS OR ATTRIBUTES
	/**
	 * OperationEntity constructor comment.
	 */
	public OperationEntity(String unNom) {
		super();
		name = unNom;
	}
should give :
	/**
	 * OperationEntity constructor comment.
	 */
	public OperationEntity() {
		super();
	}
//Blank line
	/**
	 * OperationEntity constructor comment.
	 */
	public OperationEntity(String unNom) {
		super();
		name = unNom;
	}

Formatter only reduces blank lines, it does not insert some in between methods.
Will consider post 2.0
