Hi Rick
Ernest actually commented on my blog post today about this very thing!
Saying his formatter can run on the command line with minimal eclipse
jars.
Quoting him
"FYI, you can run FlexFormatter from the command line if that helps.
It still requires some Eclipse jars, but you don’t have to have
Eclipse itself running."
Mike
I have command-line version of the Flex Formatter ready to test...
if anyone (preferably on a Mac) would like to give it a go - let me
know.
The tool is executed on the command-line as:
java -jar ApacheFlexFormatter.jar -settings=[ path to .properties
file ] -path=[ file, files, or directory ] -reformat=[ true / false
] -tabsize=[ 0 - 9 ]
If anyone reading this missed out on the conversations yesterday,
the idea is that a stand-alone tool can be integrated into any IDE
(not just Eclipse) or executed prior to a commit. Really... it could
be used whenever it is needed.
Cheers,
Rick Winscot
