Description stas 2005-01-10 11:23:22 UTC 
It would be good if project properties allowed to
override IDE's formatting settings.

Because different projects use different
formatting conventions (e.g. tabs vs spaces
indentation).
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2005-01-10 21:29:07 UTC 
Yes, currently the IDE is still using the 3.x-era IndentationEngine,
whereby you can create one or more "indentation engines" and set a
default engine as well as a particular engine for any given file. This
should be changed to a query ("what are the correct indentation
settings for file X.java?") with an implementation in each project
type (or a generic implementation using AuxiliaryConfiguration).
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2008-04-08 17:58:01 UTC 
Looks to be obsolete. IDE has a dialog for configuring text formatting.
Comment 3 Milos Kleint 2008-04-08 18:43:36 UTC 
I disagree. It's not possible for me for example to have different formatting for netbeans.org projects and a different
set for maven.apache.org work. That's unfortunate because the coding rules in both communities differ quite a bit.

Actually I think this might be a duplicate of some other issue.
