Java Code Formatter from command line [message #244212]

Hello,

Calling the Java Code Formatter from command line, e.g.

eclipse -application org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCodeFormatter -config
c:\temp\my.prefs c:\my_project\src

does work good if I do NOT have Java annotations in my source code. With
annotations, the Code Formatter does not format the code at all, whilst it
does it job when being called within the IDE, e.g. pressing
[Ctrl][Shift][F].

I use Eclipse 3.3RC2. Any ideas?

Stefan

Are you sure that the file c:\temp\my.prefs contains the options for the
compliance, source level and target level?
Make sure that you have the same values for these three options:
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.compliance=1.5
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.codegen.targetPlatform=1.5
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.source=1.5

Hi Olivier,

you are right, I did not add these lines. Thank you!
It would be nice if one could omit the config file, so that the Code
Formatter uses the active profile (under Preferences -> ...)

Getting the active profile would require some UI code. The code
formatter itself has no idea that formatter profiles exist. It is purely
based on Core code.
