Better printing support [message #16076]

Hello!

I am not very pleasant with the possiblities for printing my Java source.

Ich want to set the printer font and size, headers and footers and - very
important - the possiblity to print all project files at once.

Now I thought to implement a plug-in for this. But I do not want to do so,
if such a thing already exists.

Does anybody now such a plug-in or extension (for free) ?

greetings
Robert

Also looking for printing capability! Add setting margins, print range by
line number or by inserted delimiters,, printing of line numbers option,
double spacing, non-repetition on top line of previous bottom line, etc.

I would love to see something like this as well and my searches have
turned up nothing. I would also love to see line numbers.

Unfortunately I'm not in much of a position to contribute to such an
endevour (I wouldn't even know how to approach print format generation :-)

For the line numbers, go to Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor and
check the "Show line numbers" checkbox.

Note the title... this is about printing... not just seeing the line
numbers in the editor window. I already know how to do that :-)

There is a program for windows that allows most of this:
Download printfile (142k) from
http://www.lerup.com/printfile/

install this in a dir like c:\apps\printfile\
Start the app and set your defaults like multiple pages, border et.c.
line number printing is in settings-->(Dialog) Text file button --> Show
line numbers
It does pretty printing for multiple langs, Java is one.

Then set up a external tool script (Menu Run-->External TOols-->External
Tools...
Define a new with the parameters
location c:\apps\printfile\PRFILE32.exe
Working dir c:\apps\printfile
Arguments: /q ${resourceloc}

Check the checkbox "run in background"

Now you can select the file you want to print,
and select your script from the button menu of external tools in the toolbar
(running man with some red stuff)
that will print the file nicely.

There might be a way to create a script passing multiple files , dunno, but
you could also
open up the printfile application and drag-n-drop files to its window from
the explorer.

if you are using linux you could prolly do something similar but pass it to
enscript or whatever prettyprinting program you like to use.

This works brilliantly, thanks a lot. The settings within printfile are
really nice as well. It will dynamically scale your selected font based on
the number of lines you want per page or the number of characters you want
within the margins among other things. It's kinda funny that 2 years later
this is still an issue but it's nice that the newsgroup archives reach back
that far.
