Hi,

i have a small problem with the code formatter. Unter
Window->Preferences->Java->Code Formatter it
is possible to change the way the code is formatted. However it is not
possible to tell eclipse to
insert a space between the method name / class name and the following
opening bracket :

e.g :
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
sb.toString();

however i want the code to look like :

StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer ();
sb.toString (); ^
^ a space character
a space character

did i miss something, or is it not possible to tell eclipse to insert a
space character ?

thanks in advance,

Andreas

Andreas,

this is currently not possible. Feel free to file a feature request
against JDT Core.

I prefer this Layout too.
It is the standard for Textlayout in Bookprinting to have blanks OUT of the
braces, and no blank inside,
e.g.
aaa.doIt (a, b, c);
aaa.doIt (a, b);
aaa.doIt ();

and bookprinting is taking place since about 400 years, so they have a lot
of experience.
It is much better readable, especially in the 'outline'-window.

This will be possible with the new formatter.
