Code Formatter as an Ant Task [message #244179]

I have managed to extract the Code Formatter so that you don't need to
have the complete Eclipse IDE installed. It now means that you can use
an Ant Task to format your code according to some configuration that is
extracted from your project settings.

Please bear in mind this is made from the discovery on
http://wiyoo.blogspot.com/2007/05/batch-formatting-java-sour ce-code-with.html,
so you need to follow the instructions there to get your configuration file.

You can download the source, compiled jar and libs from
http://www.darkedges.com/java/ant/JavaCodeFormatter.zip

It is very rough, but seems to work for me, and is entirely based on the
original code, except for 2 lines where I could not figure out how to
get the Platform object initiated to find the javalike extensions.

Hi Nicholas,

How do I have to call your bundled version of the Java Code Formatter from
command line?

1. unzip JavacodeFormatter.zip
2. Issue the following command

Windows:
java -classpath
lib\org.eclipse.core.contenttype_3.2.0.v20060603.jar;
lib\org.eclipse.core.jobs_3.2.0.v20060603.jar;
lib\org.eclipse.core.resources_3.2.1.R32x_v20060914.jar;
lib\org.eclipse.core.runtime_3.2.0.v20060603.jar;
lib\org.eclipse.equinox.common_3.2.0.v20060603.jar;
lib\org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.2.1.v_677_R32x.jar;
lib\org.eclipse.osgi_3.2.1.R32x_v20060919.jar;
lib\org.eclipse.text_3.2.0.v20060605-1400.jar;
lib\JavaCodeFormatter.jar
com.darkedges.JavaCodeFormatter

Unix:
java -classpath
lib\org.eclipse.core.contenttype_3.2.0.v20060603.jar:
lib\org.eclipse.core.jobs_3.2.0.v20060603.jar:
lib\org.eclipse.core.resources_3.2.1.R32x_v20060914.jar:
lib\org.eclipse.core.runtime_3.2.0.v20060603.jar:
lib\org.eclipse.equinox.common_3.2.0.v20060603.jar:
lib\org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.2.1.v_677_R32x.jar:
lib\org.eclipse.osgi_3.2.1.R32x_v20060919.jar:
lib\org.eclipse.text_3.2.0.v20060605-1400.jar:
lib\JavaCodeFormatter.jar
com.darkedges.JavaCodeFormatter

Remember this has to be on one line.

Hope this helps.
