Description Guenther Koegel CLA 2006-08-09 06:05:02 EDT 
Please check product and component...

Trying to format the follwing Java code via Control+A and Control+Shift+F reports an error:
"Format" did not complete normally. Please see the log for mor information.
An exception stack trace is not available.

-------- example start ------
public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
    }

    /**
     * <pre>
     * public String toString()
     * {
     *     return &quot;&quot;;
     * }
     * 
     */
}
------------ example end -------
It's caused by the missing pre end tag in the java doc comment.

Attention: The behaviour is different if Source->Format is triggered via mouse/Menu.

In the preferences I have checked "Format Java code snippets" under Java->Code Style->Formatter, tab Comments.

Works for me using R3.2 and I20060809-0010, see also:

Comment 2 Guenther Koegel CLA 2006-08-09 09:53:52 EDT 
Sorry, I should have tried it with a untainted Eclipse installation. Next time I will do that...

The error depends on the preference setting: "Clear blank lines in comments" being checked which is not the default in the plain vanilla Eclipse.

Start with the preference page Java->Code Style->Formatter

Create a new profile from "Eclipse [built-in]" and select "New..."
Enter a new profile name, e.g. test
On the Comments tab select "Clear blank lines in comments"
Press OK
Press OK to close preference window

Select the Java code via Control+A
Format the code with Control+Shift+F *several times*
(in case the first time succeeds)
