generated code - formatting [message #116521]

I used VE to generate some code for a JFrame.

I'm very particular about formatting, and unfortunately I find what seems to
be the standard for braces in Java annoying and difficult to read.

I want to see code that looks like this:

if (checkCondition())
{
doThis();
doThat();
}

and I absolutely can't stand to see code that looks like this:

if (checkCondition()) {
doThis();
doThat();
}

So my question is this: Is there an option in Eclipse to have generated
code come out looking as I would like it?

Set your java formatting options to this setting and the VE will respect
it and generate the code that way.

To get to the options: Window->Preferences->Java->Code
Style->Formatting. From there you need to show the profile and modify it
on the "braces" tab.
