To have a different one for each eclipse version will be too much in my view. But I think it will be good if the supported version of the existing file is mentioned somewhere. Might help in saving some time while setting up new dev env.

a version 11.  Mahout/buildtools already has this profiler file. Maybe
it should have a different one for each Eclipse release?

And, that file has block comment formatting turned on.

Stepping back, I do this to make patches: 'git diff -w -U5'. This
means ignore all whitespace. Then I remove all diff blocks I don't
want. When formatting changes line breaks, that causes lots of junk to
wade through.

Is the formatter file for eclipse valid for only specific eclipse versions?
If yes, which versions are they?

The formatter is not working for me while using Eclipse Indigo.
I am picking the file from
https://cwiki.apache.org/MAHOUT/how-to-contribute.html. Its present at the
end of the page.
