This isn't completely Idea related, but I think everybody on
this list might have good ideas and maybe something for IDEA
could come of it.
When you write a java class in a text file, most people write
it as (or really close to):
class A {
public void methodA()
{
...
}
}
It seems to me that there is a tab width at the beginning of
each method line that is just totally wasted because you have to
surround everything with the java class name. Lines always
get too long and those 4 character spaces do end up being
'important'.
Is anybody else annoyed at this? It doesn't 'feel' right
to start *java* methods at col 0 (C++ worked very nicely
because classes are defined in the header files), and most
IDE's mess up formatting if I start the methods at col 0.
For instance, IDEA will move all my methods to the col 4
if I choose to format a source file of the form:
class A {
public void methodA()
{
....
}
} /* end class A */
Having IDEA give the option of starting a method on col 0 would
be ok, but I'd rather find a better solution.
Does anybody have another way of formatting that reclaims
all this wasted space? I miss the look of C++ files. sniff
Being picky as usual,
