| Generating a config file for the formatter application |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| Generating a config file for the formatter application involves modifying the code formatter settings |
| for a Java project and copying org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs out of the .settings directory for that project. |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| Select a Java project, open the pop-up menu and choose <strong>Properties</strong>. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Select the <strong>Java Code Style > Formatter</strong> page and check <strong>Enable project specific settings</strong>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Select or edit a profile as explained above. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Click <strong>OK</strong> when you are done. |
| </li> |
| |
| <li> |
| Use either a file manager or the command line to copy <b><code>workspace/YourJavaProject/.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs</code></b> |
| to a new location. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| If the files you want to format are using 1.5 constructs, you must add the following lines inside the preference file you just created: |
| <blockquote><code> |
| org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.compliance=1.5<br> |
| org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.codegen.targetPlatform=1.5<br> |
| org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.source=1.5<br> |
| </code> |
| </blockquote> |
| </li> |
