Description Roland Illig CLA 2015-08-21 06:28:08 EDT
When I select a Java project in the Project Explorer, the menu item Source > Format is disabled. When I select all Java source folders of that project, it gets enabled.

I’d like this menu item to be enabled when I select the whole Java project.

Currently, to automatically format the source code of my 20 projects, I have to expand all of them by one level, select their source folders individually, and only then can I format the source code.

I’d like to just select the projects and then be able to format them all at once.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

You can do this in the Package Explorer.
