Formatting empty brackets [message #657577]

Hi,

is there any possibility to format empty brackets in a different manner?
We have the following example:
our formatting looks like this
for (Pair<Keyword, Keyword> pair : f.findKeywordPairs("{", "}")) {
c.setLinewrap().after(pair.getFirst());
c.setIndentationIncrement().after(pair.getFirst());
c.setLinewrap().before(pair.getSecond());
c.setIndentationDecrement().before(pair.getSecond());
}

In every "filled" bracket pair this works very well, but in case of empty brackets the result is...
State Prepare {
}

but we like to get it more compact
State Prepare { }

Thank you in advance!

Hi Herward,

please try to use setSpace(" ").between(..);
