Re: [jdt-ui-dev] JDT UI Code Style Conventions

[Markus Keller <markus_keller@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There is no such formatter file. The org.eclipse.jdt.ui project has 
project-specific settings which are stored in 
.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs. These settings are automatically 
used when you format a .java file in this project.

If you want to export the profile, you can
- open the 'Project > Properties' dialog
- go to 'Java Code Style > Formatter'
- click Edit
- give the profile a name, e.g. "JDT UI Code Style Conventions"
- click Export...

Note that the project contains many files that don't fully adhere to this 
profile, so when you write a patch, it's better if you only format new or 
changed lines, rather than the whole file.

HTH,
Markus

[jdt-ui-dev] JDT UI Code Style Conventions



Hi,

I'm looking for a way to automatically enforce the JDT UI code style
conventions. That is, I'm looking for a formatter file to import at
Preferences > Java > Code Style > Formatter.

I checked out the org.eclipse.jdt.ui from the CVS repository (version
v20110531-1200 of org.eclipse.jdt.ui from
:pserver:dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse). I can find
.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs at
<
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.jdt.ui/.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs?view=markup
>.
But, I don't find the actual formatter XML file that defines the Java
code style. Therefore, when I apply Source > Format on a Java file of
org.eclipse.jdt.ui, the formatting of the Java file changes. I believe
enforcing the code style will make it easier to apply my patches
against different versions of org.eclipse.jdt.ui. Where can I find the
code style convention file for JDT UI?

Thanks,
Mohsen Vakilian
