Re: [jdt-core-dev] Strange formatting when using JDT core DOM infrastruc

Hi,

You can add the annotation in the first
position inside the modifiers. You can format the code at the end once
you get the source from the document.

Hi folks!

I'm working on the JBoss Forge tool (https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/FORGE/Home).
For some of its features it uses JDT core tooling to generate or modify
Java classes. For example, it may create JPA entities. However, the final
format is quite weird:

package com.example.test;

import javax.persistence.Entity;public @Entity class Employee
{}

I would expect something like that:

package com.example.test;

import javax.persistence.Entity;

@Entity
public class Employee {}

You noticed how in the generated input the import, the
annotation and the class declaration are on a single line? And @Entity
is placed between the public and class words?

I have attached here a sample class, which demonstrates
how we use the JDT parser API. Could you please tell me what I am doing
wrong? And is it possible to have more beautiful formatting?

Thanks and regards,
