Thanks Geertjan, It seems like we should standardize on the Eclipse formatter so that we can use this plugin and the the maven one. Now the trick will be to convert the netbeans settings into the Eclipse equivalents. Cheers, Chris > On Aug 27, 2018, at 2:53 AM, Geertjan Wielenga > wrote: >

Here's the PR to enable the plugin to work on Apache NetBeans (incubating) 9.0: https://github.com/markiewb/eclipsecodeformatter_for_netbeans/pull/97 Really minor tweaks, to be honest. Gj On Thu, Aug 23, 2018 at 12:42 PM, Chris McGee wrote: > Thanks Will, > > I’ll go over this with the team

Thanks Will, I’ll go over this with the team. You’re probably right that making this third party plugin work with NB 9.0 and future is likely not a large investment. I’m wondering if that investment is better spent finding a way to invoke the NB formatter(s) in Maven. This would be ideal for us

Sorry, I meant that the eclipse formatter plugin is looking for maintainers. If it’s helpful I’ll try to describe the problem that we are facing. The development team has a standard IDE, NetBeans, but everyone is free to use the tools that they are most comfortable. We have already established c

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I’ll give it some thought as to whether we want to continue to use the abandoned code formatter or rely on developer diligence to keep the code base formatted correctly. If we were to invest time into this problem I wonder if it would be better to make the

I would suggest to not import setting from 8.2. Instead, start 9.0 fresh and empty, register the 8.2 update center, and then pick that specific formatter plugin and try to install it: https://blogs.apache.org/netbeans/entry/what-s-happened-to-my After that, the errors you'll see will be specific

Hi Chris, Looking at the github site for the Eclipse Java Code Formatter plugin...it looks like they are wanting some assistance maintaining. To that end, I'd recommend making a fork and patching it to get it working with NetBeans 9. https://github.com/markiewb/eclipsecodeformatter_for_netbeans
