I could be nice to have the ability to re-format all Java files in one time. Beyond, to do all java file based actions on a selection of files (as for search for example).
agreed, that this would be nice, but we cannot commit to it for 2.0
[code manipulation] Should consider for 2.1

I voted for this Bug/Request since we have some large projects. The main project currently has over 2300 classes. We like to have the same format for all sources. We could do a format every time we hit a source, but our sources are under control of CVS and a mailing system keep al developers up-to-date with changes. Doing a logical code change and a source format on a few files at the time will clutter the changes. With the ability to format all sources at once, we can commit all source formats at once, while disabling the mailing system during this commit.
Chaning state from assigned later to resolved later. Assigned later got introduced by the last bug conversion and is not a supported Eclipse bug state.

Although though it would still be nice to have code formatting for multiple files integrated in Eclipse, I have found an alternative some time ago: http://klomp.org/formatjava/
Created attachment 7330 [details] Plugin that provides functionality we are asking for This is the formatjava plugin that allows for recursive formatting of a source tree that has been available for over a year now. Hopefully the development team can just add this to the 3.0 stream as it doesn't seem to be a hard task at all. The functionality (formatting) is already there, we just need a menu option to recursively apply it to all the files in a tree. PLEASE reopen this bug for 3.0
Reopening for 3.0 consideration.
Silvio, can you please investigate. You should coordinate this with Martin since the algorithm should be comparable to apply organize imports to folders, projects as well.

What is the status of this? We want to reformat all of the runtime/OSGi code for 3.0 and would prefer not to wait until the last minute. If this bug will be fixed in the next week or two we'll wait. Otherwise we'll hire a crew of monkeys.

Created attachment 9492 [details] A version of the original plugin that works with 3.0 This is a new version of the original code that has been updated to work with Eclipse 3.0. It still uses the obsolete formatter API but it gets the job done.
Created attachment 9549 [details] formatjava project zip This is an updated version of the formatjava plugin project. The previous one I posted had a number of problems. In particular, the plugin.xml was incorrect and code acutally used the old formatter. This one uses the new formatter and the current formatting settings.
This still says target milestone 3.0, so will this contribution make it in?
unfortunately not - we have to focus on delivering what we currently have in product quality - adjusted the milestone
discussed with Martin again - reconsider for 3.0
the format action is now also enabled in the Java views (on CU's, package fragments, source folders and projects) in I20040511
