A formatter profile allows you to configure nearly every possible "style" choice you can imagine for formatting Java source files; new lines (where and how many), indentions (spaces or tabs), number of indentions per certain keywords (switch, case, identifiers, etc), brace placement, javadoc formatting and anything else that floats your bloat.
You can do as little as just duplicating the built-in profiles and setting the indention policy. I just adjusted other parts of the profile because the default conventions have some weird treatment of switch blocks, at least weird to me. The profile is what's used when you format source code or use the correct indention features, which just formats the indentions of the source (converts tabs to spaces, etc). -Nathan > -----Original Message----- > From: Geir Magnusson Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2006 5:39 AM > To: harmony-dev@incubator.apache.org > Subject: Re: svn commit: r394890 - in > /incubator/harmony/enhanced/classlib/trunk/modules: applet/make/common/ > archive/make/common/ auth/make/common/ awt/make/common/ beans/make/common/ > crypto/make/common/ jndi/make/common/ logging/make/common/ luni/make/commo > > What does a "formatter profile" do?
