Code Formatter Inserting Comments [message #165831] Tue, 15 August 2006 14:13 Go to next message

I'm having trouble getting the code formatter to do what I want.

I have a load of code without file/class/method comments. I have edited
the code template to include the basics of this however I can't see how to
get the formatter to apply this to existing classes.

I thought that the "Enable Comment Formatting" option in
Preferences>Java>CodeStyle>Formatter>Edit>Comments would do this. But no
luck.

Any ideas? I can't find any useful information on writing code formatters.
This is particularly useless :)

I think the code formatter only works when you're typing the new class.
If you want to apply the format to existing code, open the eclipse
editor to the code you want to format, click in the text somewhere and
hit Ctrl + Shift + F.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I've tried applying the code formatter but it
doesn't apply the comments!
I'm sure it should! :)

Open a bug report against JDT/Core and provide an example and the steps
to reproduce your issue.
Thanks

The formatter doesn’t insert anything, it only formats. To
automatically insert comments, hit Alt+Shift+J on a method or class, or
enable the checkbox in the dialog which is creating the methods (such as
new class and many refactoring options).
