JavaCodeFormatter does not do the line wrapping [message #249906]

I tried JavaCodeFormatter from command line. But it does not do the line
wrapping.
I use the same formatter in Eclipse. It works. Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

It wraps lines for Java source code. But it does not wrap lines for
Javadoc. I use the same formatter in Eclipse. It works.

Jing,

Most likely this has to do with the preferences in your config file. I
can't say I actually could find the information in the help
documentation for how to generate the file though but I suppose you'd
export your formatter profile and use that.

$ eclipsec.exe -application org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCodeFormatter
No configuration file specified.

Usage: eclipse -application org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCodeFormatter [
OPTIONS ] -config <configFile> <files>

Hi, Ed

Thanks a lot for your help. I really like this eclipse feature.

I generated my config file refering to the Eclipse document "Generating a
config file for the formatter application". I does all the things as the
document specifies.
I issue the following command to run JavaCodeFormatter.

D:\gnu\eclipse-java-europa-fall2\eclipsec.exe -nosplash -application
org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCodeFormatter -config org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs
-verbose Person.java

I use the following java file as input.

/**
* Comment for the java class. It is a long long long long description for
the class. It should be wrapped.
*
* @author Administrator
*
*/
public class Person {
private String name;

/**
* Returns the name. It is a long long long long long long description
It should be wrapped.
*
*
* @return The name. It is a long long long long long description for the
parameter.
*/
public String getName() {
return name;
}

}

It only formats the java code. It does not do line wrapping from javadocs.
The output is the same as the input.
I got java comments wrapped when I press Ctrl+Shift+F in eclipse.

/**
* Comment for the java class. It is a long long long long description for
the
* class. It should be wrapped.
*
* @author Administrator
*
*/
public class Person {
private String name;

/**
* Returns the name. It is a long long long long long long description .It
* should be wrapped.
*
*
* @return The name. It is a long long long long long description for the
* parameter.
*/
public String getName() {
return name;
}

}

I have tried it on Eclipse 3.2.2 and eclipse europa fall2.

Are there any things I have done wrong?

Jing,

If the problem appears to be a legitimate bug, then I'd suggest opening
a bugzilla report with a test file to be formatted as well as your
formatting preferences that include a preference for doing comment line
breaking. Check specifically that "Comments" section of the preferences
have "Enable ..." checked and have a look if changing these settings
affect the preference file that's generated for you. Perhaps the
problem is that the preference choices aren't being saved properly in
the preference file. If you open a bugzilla someone will try it and if
it's broken their fix it and if there's a user error, they'll explain
what it is...
