Newline + Indenation after { and no closing brackets... [message #162944]

Hello!

I configured the Java Editor some time before and now (when I used
Eclipse M8 again) I noticed that after typing a "{" and pressing Enter
there is no default indentation.
Furthermore my braces are not closed automatically.
Example:
I'm typing this in a class (<ENTER> means pressing Enter):

public void a() {<ENTER>
| C

My cursor goes to the marked position |, but I want it move to C.
It would be nice if the bracket { is closed automatically.
Example:

I write: public void a() {<ENTER>
and then } would appear in the line after my cursor at the same
indentation as the method signature.

It would result in:
public void a() {<ENTER>
|
}

I think I just messed up my configuration but I cannot find any wrong
settings.
It would be nice if you help, therefore:
Thanks in advance,
Hero Wunders

The ususal suspects:

- You disabled smart insert mode (Edit->Enable Smart Insert Mode) - no
auto-indentation or auto-closing is done in this mode.

- Your editor preferences say not to close braces:
Java->Editor->Typing->Close Braces

- Your source around the typing area does not have balanced braces, so
your opening brace is actually matched to another one.

- Your formatter preferences say not to indent statements inside a
method body.

- You're on a mac and a tab is not displayed correctly.

I pressed Insert on my Keyboard some time before...
When I tried Eclipse again after a restart everything was fine again :)
