Eclipse Code Formatter Plugin

Question

Can some one suggest me a plugin to format HTML and JAVA code with proper indents etc ? Is there any built in option there in Eclipse ?

Answer 1

Eclipse does have built in Java formatting:

Preferences > Java > Code Style > Formatter

For HTML, you might try something like HTML Tidy. The Web Tools Platform project also includes formatting.

Answer 2

Use Source -> Format or CTRL+SHIFT+F

Answer 3

It's a combination of all the answers above, which suits me-

1. Go to Preferences > Java > Code Style > Formatter and set all the options you want by creating your own profile or using a default one. Personally I find the line-wrap limited to 80 a little too low. I set it to 200.
2. Save the 'custom' preferences by giving it a new profile name (export it for future restoration)
3. Select the code in your editor - then hit CTRL+SHIFT+F. That should format your code.

Worked wonders for me everytime.

Answer 4

Java code formatting is built in. Go to Window->Preferences->Java->Code Style->Formatter. There's a built in profile set up and you can make your own.

Answer 5

http://sourceforge.net/projects/jalopy/

Note that Jalopy has its settings under Window> Jalopy Preferences.

(This menu option appears only when all editor tabs are closed)

Eclipse doesn't have proper built-in code formatting. You might want to open your project in Idea IntelliJ or Netbeans and use their formatting to do a thorough job on it.
