Using the JDT CodeFormatter without jface [message #258649]

Hi Everyone,

i'd like to use the jdt code formatter to beautify java code created by
some sort of code generator. The method "format()" in
org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.CodeFormatter returns a jface TextEdit
which can be applied to a jface IDocument. Unfortunately my target
platform doesn't have the jface-bundles installed :-(

So my question is: Is there a way to use the jdt code formatter without
having jface installed?

Thanks,
Ralf!

You don't need JFace. You only need the org.eclipse.text plug-in.
