Hi, after I received the comment to follow PDFBox coding style and use the provided settings for the eclipse formatter, I tried to import the eclipse settings into IntelliJ (the IDE I usually use) and received an error. I investigated and found out that two of the settings caused a problem:
* <setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.alignment_for_conditional_expression" value="120"/> * <setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.alignment_for_resources_in_try" value="120"/> The import works if I delete these two lines. Now I wouldn't bother to report it here, but I opened IDEA-315699 ( https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-315699), and they closed it saying that "120" is indeed an incorrect value although eclipse accepts it (but according to them, eclipse treats it as "0"). If you think this would be worth fixing, I would do this: * do a clean checkout of trunk * reformat the complete code with the provided formatter settings * do the same once more but with the two lines mentioned above removed/set to "0" * check if there are any differences * if there are no differences, provide a patch for the formatter file Would such a patch be accepted? I think it might help other potential contributors if they can just apply the formatter settings in their preferred IDE. Alternatively, I could provide a matching IntelliJ or EditorConfig file (editorconfig should also work with other IDEs/editors such as VS code, and others). Cheers, Axel
