Description Forest CLA 2002-11-26 16:57:52 EST 
I want my code to look like this:

if (foo)
   {
   bar();
   }

Note that braces are not only on their own lines, but indented to line up with
the code they contain.  The code formatter preferences don't offer this option.
Comment 1 Olivier Thomann CLA 2003-01-15 13:22:57 EST 
We need to clear 2.1 bug reports that won't be addressed before 2.1. The new 
implementation is still in the works. Therefore we cannot include it for 2.1. 
Not enough testing and we need to polish the preferences. This will be address 
for 2.2 as stated in the JDT/Core plan.
Comment 2 Philipe Mulet CLA 2003-06-12 06:35:38 EDT 
Resurrecting for 3.0
Comment 3 Olivier Thomann CLA 2003-06-12 15:58:53 EDT 
Reopen for 3.0 consideration.
Comment 4 Olivier Thomann CLA 2003-10-03 10:10:56 EDT 
This is addressed in the new formatter.
Fixed and released in HEAD.
Regression test added.
Comment 5 David Audel CLA 2003-10-13 12:17:38 EDT 
Verified.
Comment 6 Malcolm Langille CLA 2004-09-29 12:30:48 EDT 
I have looked and looked in the code formatter but cannot find this feature?

if (foo)
   {
   bar();
   }

I want the braces indented to line up with the code they contain?
Comment 7 Olivier Thomann CLA 2004-10-05 18:17:46 EDT 
Could you please provide your formatter preferences? Attach them to this bug report.
Comment 8 Sean Kirby CLA 2004-10-06 18:07:02 EDT 
This has been working for me since 2.1.  Check the 'Braces' tab and set the drop
downs to 'Next line indented'.

What doesn't seem to work for me is the the following:

obj.addPropertyChangeListener(new PropertyChangeListener()
	{
		public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent arg0)
			{
			// TODO Auto-generated method stub
			}
	});


When it should be:

obj.addPropertyChangeListener(new PropertyChangeListener()
	{
	public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent arg0)
		{
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		}
	});

Deferring post 3.1
Comment 11 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2009-08-30 02:37:00 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
