Certain Save Actions and Cleanup Tasks that affect code style should also be available in the formatter. This is not the case. The most notable example off the top of my head is the option to strip trailing whitespace characters, which is available as a Save Action, but is not available as a formatting option. This makes it very difficult to get all the formatting goodness when using the formatter API directly, in such tools as the formatter-maven-plugin, which wrap the formatter, but do not have Save Actions or Cleanup Tasks implemented.
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. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
