Same comment with Organize Imports.

If doing both format and organise imports, then IMHO they should be done in this order:

o Organise Imports
o Format
o Save

Organise imports can insert extra lines in the package list, and the code format
has an option to remove blank lines, so in order for the latter option to be
preserved it should be done after the imports are organised.

Comment 4 Gary Gregory 2003-07-16 09:20:21 EDT

You could add Sort to the list of options BUT Sort breaks code sometimes IF
variable initialization depend on each other and Sort reorders them.

Comment 5 Alex Blewitt 2003-07-17 18:00:33 EDT

Comment #4 is valid, but should not necessarily associated with this bug. The sort ordering may be 
being addressed to be more intelligent to avoid this problem in the future.

Combinations of organise imports/format/sort/save should probably be options which can be 
enabled/disabled to avoid some of these problems.

dup of bug 6749

Comment 8 Dani Megert 2004-01-08 11:44:41 EST

I like this one better because it contains exactly one request. The other one
contains various requests in one PR.

Comment 9 Mohamed ZERGAOUI 2004-06-04 05:29:05 EDT

Now we have a nice formatter very useful with plenty of options and that now
handle wery well "Imports" so it will not interfer with "Organize imports"
I still think this kind of automation could be nice to have
Indeed, it will become a useful trick for a lot of other automation (Organize
imports on save, Organize imports on format, organize imports on save, etc...)
I could moreother be done with AspectJ
Is this to be handled for 3.0 or may be 3.1 ?

There might be a general hook for loading and saving files. This can be used 
with team policies to format a file on open to the developer's preferences and 
format it on save to the team's preferences (allowing an easy diff and merge).

Wow, that feature would be a very cool one!

Comment 14 Ilja Preuss 2004-11-01 03:59:30 EST

With the only drawback that it would probably confuse the quick diff feature.

What is happening with this one? Are there any plans to implement it?

Not for 3.2.

Comment 18 Sébastien Vauclair 2005-09-23 05:04:33 EDT

While we wait for this to be integrated into Eclipse, I made a simple plugin
that automatically formats and organizes imports when saving a Java editor.

It is compatible with Eclipse 3.1 and 3.2M1 and can be downloaded at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=47272&package_id=164404
