Hi,

I am currently working on a plugin to implement auto
correction/formatting of java code in JavaEditor (like VB does). I need
some inputs on how to implement. My understand I need to do the following

1. Add key listeners to JavaEditor
2. Get the current line when the user leaves the line
3. get the AST for the line
4. apply some rule and format the line accordinly
5. put the string back

If this wont work or if there is a better way kindly help me.

Regards
Thiru

You should ask this on the eclipse.tools.jdt newsgroup, since that is where
the java editor lives and where developers with the most experience with
implementing code assist and code formatting can be found.
