Hi,

I am looking for an option in the code formatter which inserts braces and
line breaks in the following situation:

if (x == 1) return 5;

The result should look like this:

if (x == 1) {
return 5;
}

Searching the help did not get me on with this. Could someone please help
me, if there is an option or what else I can do?

Thanks
Michael

I searched, but wasnt able to find it too.

In case it is not possible yet: I would like to have this too.

This goes beyond formatting (formatting only rearranges whitespace). It
would be good item for the new "Clean up" wizard (see Source>Clean up).

I have separate plugin that allows add/remove () and {}. In reallity
I already can not live without it. :-)

However I don't like idea that it should be accessible only from
"Clean Up" wizard, because this will have it too heavy. Just separate
action "Change code style", same as "Organize imports" or "Format" is
better IMHO. It can be in "Clean Up", but we need also something easy to
invoke. I press Organize_imports/Change_code_style(my)/Format every
several seconds. :-)

Could you share it? I have checkstyle set to enforce this but I often
forget about it and have to do it manually. Also my old java files hurt
because of it and I have a lot of legacy code to uplift.

Cheers,

Hi

I could provide a "light" clean up wich does execute the clean ups on the
current cu without showing a dialog/preview. If this is what you want? The
clean ups would be those which have been selected last time in the wizard or
maybe in a preference page.

Regards
Benno

Exactly. I need just apply changes, without any

styling only for unit that I currently change.

Show wizard and then press "Finish", as you suggested in bug report, is
not fast enough. :-) "Light" version would be great.

If settings in wizard are per-project it is enough to apply last
selected clean ups. If not, I think that per-project preference page is
better, like JDT supports not project specific formatting settings.

See this bug report. I've just uploaded my plugin as temporary solution
for users that need such code transformations and we all wait better
solution from Benno. :-)
