Java Code Formatter is installed but not activated [message #1803483]

When using the oomph installer to set the Java->CodeStyle-Formatter, the correct formatter is set in the IDE, but it is not activated after installation. A workaround by clicking "Edit" and "Ok" will finally activate it.

This happens on eclipse 2018-12 and the InstallerVersion 1.12.0 Build 3827. The setup file is attached.

Does anyone else have the same issue? Is there a way to fix this?

Hello,
I too have had issues while using org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter preferences.
On the other hand, when you open the preferences view, you access the formatter profiles page, and I am not sure exactly how these two interact...

I ended up using the following formatter-profile preferences instead, and completly abandon the org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter preferences :

<setup:PreferenceTask
key="/instance/org.eclipse.jdt.ui/formatter_profile"
value="_[Formatter Name]"/>
<setup:PreferenceTask
key="/instance/org.eclipse.jdt.ui/formatter_settings_version"
value="15"/>
<setup:PreferenceTask
key="/instance/org.eclipse.jdt.ui/org.eclipse.jdt.ui.formatterprofiles"
value="[...]"/>
<setup:PreferenceTask
key="/instance/org.eclipse.jdt.ui/org.eclipse.jdt.ui.formatterprofiles.version"
value="15"/>

I recommend manually editing your formatter profile, then use the recorder to get those preferences.

Oh, I thought I answered this... The internet is a bit flaky where I am these days... Thanks for helping Vincent.

Indeed, one should record the profile and also set it as the active profile; that will indirectly set all the other detailed preferences. You can look at other setups that do these, e.g, EMF.setup. (And you can find all of those using Navigate -> Open Setup -> Parent Models -> Catalog Index Eclipse...
