[platform-core-dev] Releasing formatter settings

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As you may already know, 3.3 M3 now
has support for running things like code formatter and organize imports
on editor save.  You can turn it on under Preferences > Java >
Editor > Save Participants. I recommend editing the default profile
and turning off format comments, since the core formatter conventions have
never formatted comments.  Turning this on will make a big mess of
your code if you are not using the core formatter and organize import settings:

http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/platform-core/documents/coding_conventions.html

To prevent this happening, I have released
the core formatter and organize import settings in the project preference
scope for all org.eclipse.core.* projects.  Since we have manually
formatted all core projects according to these conventions in the past,
this will avoid mangling of your code when you commit changes.

Enjoy!
