Standalone Organize Imports [message #1739172]

Hi

A variety of Java generating applications do not adequately organize
imports and so a manual clean up is needed after auto-generation.

e.g. EMF's genmodel, and OCL's code generator, ...

I invoke these from MWE2 scripts so I started writing an ImportOrganizer
step and pushed it back on my to-do stack as it started to get harder.
But surely something already exists.

Is there a standalone API/tool for JDT's fixes?

Regards

I'm not aware of such a standalone tool.

You've probably seen org.eclipse.jdt.internal.corext.codemanipulation.OrganizeImportsOperation and org.eclipse.jdt.internal.corext.fix.ImportsFix

Have you had a look at how performing cleanups on save is implemented?
- original impl. in org.eclipse.jdt.internal.corext.fix.CleanUpPostSaveListener
- simpler version for tests in org.eclipse.jdt.ui.tests.quickfix.CleanUpTestCase.performRefactoring(ICompilationUnit[])

Well, all those are internal classes, so perhaps it's worth filing an RFE to create API for this. I'm not sure if such API should be specific to Organize Imports or more generic to apply to all kinds of clean-ups.

Hi

Thanks. "CleanUpPostSaveListener" probably anticipates my next question.

Once I write an MWE2 tool, I'll contribute and may be it will inspire
someone to create an API that is also ANT friendly.
