Syntax Auto Spacing Eclipse

Question

In visual studio If I type:

int x=5*6+2*3;

It will automatically format it to:

int x = 5 * 6 + 2 * 3;

In eclipse I have to press CTRL+SHIFT+F to do this.

Is there any way I can make it happen automatically like in visual studio??

Thanks

Answer 1

Preferences → Java → Code Style → Formatter → Edit 'Active Profile' → White Spaces → Expressions → Operators (and the others)

Tick all desired boxes for white spaces, then Apply.

To inoke the formatter in the code editor, press CTRL + SHIFT + F (default).

You may also set the formatter to be invoked automatically on a Save Action, by going to Preferences → Java → Editor → Save Actions → And tick Format Source Code, along with other desired configurations of course.
