There is a feature in Eclipse and JIndent which allows you to set the order of the fields, methods and static code blocks. So you can have the formatter have fields appear after methods and you can have public methods before or after private etc. This is a really useful feature when generated code isn't necessarily inserted where you want.
reassign to java/editor for evaluation
