This is an example of code from Calendar.java final static int ERA_MASK = (1 << ERA); final static int YEAR_MASK = (1 << YEAR); final static int MONTH_MASK = (1 << MONTH); final static int WEEK_OF_YEAR_MASK = (1 << WEEK_OF_YEAR); final static int WEEK_OF_MONTH_MASK = (1 << WEEK_OF_MONTH); final static int DAY_OF_MONTH_MASK = (1 << DAY_OF_MONTH); As you can see it's well indented so you can easily understand it in just a glance. But when you use the "Format" option of netbeans you get this code final static int ERA_MASK = (1 << ERA); final static int YEAR_MASK = (1 << YEAR); final static int MONTH_MASK = (1 << MONTH); final static int WEEK_OF_YEAR_MASK = (1 << WEEK_OF_YEAR); final static int WEEK_OF_MONTH_MASK = (1 << WEEK_OF_MONTH); final static int DAY_OF_MONTH_MASK = (1 << DAY_OF_MONTH); yes it's well indented but you can't understand as easily as before. So I'd like an option to tell Netbeans to indent lines of code in groups of lines. So you'll get different indentations depending on the way you group the lines of code. 1) if you put all code together final static int ERA_MASK = (1 << ERA); final static int YEAR_MASK = (1 << YEAR); final static int MONTH_MASK = (1 << MONTH); final static int WEEK_OF_YEAR_MASK = (1 << WEEK_OF_YEAR); final static int WEEK_OF_MONTH_MASK = (1 << WEEK_OF_MONTH); final static int DAY_OF_MONTH_MASK = (1 << DAY_OF_MONTH); 2) if you put the code in two groups final static int ERA_MASK = (1 << ERA); final static int YEAR_MASK = (1 << YEAR); final static int MONTH_MASK = (1 << MONTH); final static int WEEK_OF_YEAR_MASK = (1 << WEEK_OF_YEAR); final static int WEEK_OF_MONTH_MASK = (1 << WEEK_OF_MONTH); final static int DAY_OF_MONTH_MASK = (1 << DAY_OF_MONTH); Even more I'd like some other features in Netbeans to easily understand some kind of code Arrays String[][] months = { {"monday", "tuesday", "wednesday", "thursday", "friday", "saturday", "sunday"}, {"mon", "tue", "wed", "thu", "fri", "sat", "sun"} }; or String[] monthsL = {"monday", "tuesday", "wednesday", "thursday", "friday", "saturday", "sunday"}; String[] monthsS = {"mon", "tue", "wed", "thu", "fri", "sat", "sun"}; Comments like this String type = "Book"; // Is a book String name = "1984"; // the Orwell's book int price = 55.6; // the price of the book int num = 1; // number of books better than String type = "Book"; // Is a book String name = "1984"; // the Orwell's book int price = 55.6; // the price of the book int num = 1; // number of books I think these features shouldn't be enabled by default but should be there to use. Thanks.
