The problem I saw were with Eclipse 3.01 (not very old). Maybe Eclipse 3.1 has 
made some progress but I doubt it's perfect.


The problem with the "reformat file" feature is that you can't make a 
difference between rules that must be applied and rules that should be applied.


A simple example, blank lines between members: I may want to put blank lines 
between some and not between other to show that some members form a group. This 
is not something you can specify by a rule.


Some alignments also may be better when using human judgement. For example, 
most of the time aligning '=' signs in several consecutive assignements can be 
nice some time and can be wong other times.


There are other examples, it's just my opinion that following rules won't be as 
good as human judgement.
