[Acceleo] Protected block indentation problems [message #643373]

Hopefully without posting an example someone will be familiar with this problem.

I applied "post trim" to each of my templates, but even still, every time I re-generate my code, the protected block code gets progressively further indented.

The only way I was able to prevent this from happening was to delete all of the indentations in my mtl code, making it highly unreadable.

Is there something obvious I'm missing, or might this be an Acceleo bug?

Thanks!
Jeff

Hi,

This is a known bug of Acceleo, we try to correct the indentation after the generation and this should not be applied to the protected area. It should be corrected for Acceleo 3.1.

In the meantime, is there an easy way to call JDT's source formatting to beautify the generated code?

Thanks!
Jeff

Hi,

The formatter of the JDT is "org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.CodeFormatter". You could try something like this:

Thanks so much Stephane. I'll give it a shot! I couldn't find these in my searches.
