Description drichan 2006-02-14 03:28:11 UTC 
The Code Formatter tool doesn't offer enough flexibility in controlling how 
Code is formatted {} spacing new lines etc. 

Eclipse offers many more options to customize the code formatting of Java code 
etc.

This is probably FIXED in 6.0?
Comment 4 mclaassen 2008-04-08 19:07:04 UTC 
As far as I am concerned, it is basically fixed.  I really like the formatting features in 6.0.   I haven't really
thought much about the formatting features in a while, which probably means they are working for me.  However, I would
still really like to see 106815 fixed.

My preferred spacing is:
package
<blank line>
imports
<blank line>
Class name
<blank line>
variable group
  [<blank line>
   variable group]...
<blank line>
First constructor

Netbeans removes most of these blank lines, although some are configurable.

Maybe the option should be "at least X lines" between things.  That way, if I add a line for readability, it is not
removed by the reformatter.

Ok, I'm marking this as FIXED. The issue #106815 is open and will be addressed separately. Thanks
