I often have code clean up issues that I would like to automate.
For example, I want to change all occurences of
if(
to
if (
and all occurences of
else{
else {

Is there a way to automate this with a macro or something?

Right-click on a Project, Package, or Class (or a multi-selection of any
of those) and choose Source > Clean up...
There are lots of options you can configure to be run as part of the
clean-up.
You can also set up a Save Action to run these kinds of code changes
every time you save. See
http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/topic/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.u ser/reference/preferences/java/editor/ref-preferences-save-a ctions.htm

Hope this helps,
Eric
