UI Template based code formatter [message #1052538]

Existing code formatters are based on explicit rules addition/selection. For example for leaving a blank line after a conditional/loop block I would need to select that particular rule. This I feel is little cumbersome.
Instead I would really love to have a code formatter which can work on a template of actual source code file. It will have capability to derive rules from template and apply those to other source files which have to be formatted.
Does anyone if such a plugin is available? If not I am all in to develop such a code formatter plugin. Would anyone know of pre-reads before starting on Eclipse plugin development.

Hello! Have you moved forward with creating a formatter that extracts rules based on example files? I'm just beginning with plugin development, but having something like that would really help my team! If not, how can I contribute?

Thanks!
