Zitat von Jeremias Maerki <[email protected]>:
Sorry, I get it now. You really were asking for the source code formatter
settings for PDFBox. I don't think there is such a configuration file
anywhere. We do have a Checkstyle config file in the trunk's root:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pdfbox/trunk/
I guess we'd have to jointly develop such a configuration and it would
have to fit the Checkstyle configuration, too.
But...personally, I never use the "Format" function in Eclipse since it
can mess up source code that has been formatted by hand for extra
readability. Also, PDFBox's source code does not have a very uniform
Thats the point. A good formatter keeps the readability. The only
point it can mess up is with comments that was written inside /* */.
But the whole code will look homogeneous and don't need to format by
hand any more.
code style if you go into details like spaces inside braces etc.
Applying the format command could increase the noise rate a lot when
doing commits.
Thats the point, normally it will decrease the noise rate if everyone
use the same format or the commiter format the submitted code before
commiting it.
At the moment I have the problem with the formating and can't compare
my changes against the trunk. The solution will be disable the
formater and do it by hand.
I don't know what everybody thinks about the "Format" function and a
possible normative config file. The above is just my personal view.

Hi Jeremias,

Eclipse has a buildin Code Formatter. There can be specified different
rules for the code styling and after pressing Ctrl + Shift + F eclipse
will format the given sourcecode.

I don't know what you mean exactly with reformating a programming
language, but it may reformat the source code.
You can find this option under:
Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Formatter
