Hi,

Is it possible to create a plugin which will provide a formatting
profile to Java->Code Style->Formatter.
In other words, I'd like to have my profile visible there after
installing a plugin.
Is there an extension point I can use?
I'd not like to create my own formatting class, just create
a config file (as a new profile, then 'Export'), package
it into plugin contributing to extension point (one I'm looking
for) and distribute that plugin.

Thanks and regards,
Tomek
