Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20081031070034) Java: 1.6.0_10-rc; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b13 System: Linux version 2.6.22-15-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb) Keep empty lines when surrounding block of code with try-catch
I'd vote to 'fix' this one as well (I see it as well on the same OS and netbeans versions)... I'm not sure why netbeans needs to remove all empty lines when surrounding a block with try...catch and thus render the surrounded code quite less readable.
This is rather an enhancement, since this is not supported in current java source model.
