The code formatter (Source->Format) doesn't do anything when the code contains 
any of the recently (JDK 1.5) introduced generics. See this example:

public class Test {
    /*public static void confuse() {
       java.util.List<String> l;
    }*/
    public static void test() {
        for (int i=0;i<10;i++) { }
    }
}

The formatter works fine unless the method confuse() is uncommented, in which 
case the code formatter doesn't do anything. The "Compiler compliance level" in 
the preferences is set to 1.5 and the code can be compiled and executed. This 
happened using the JDK 1.5 Beta 2.
