What about variables local to a block e.g. deep in three-deep nested ifs? Will it put them back at the original indent level too, or just to the level of the nested if's opening brace? If the latter, then I don't think it makes it any easier to find than just having declarations at the top of a block with a blank line before the code. Still, what do I know - I actually prefer opening braces on the same line (except for the class/method definitions), since that lets you see more of the code on a single page... > > But that's only me and not the whole team, so I accept your fix too > > :-) > > as I said above, I will now change it back.

Now there's an idea for a new NetBeans module :-) Andrew. _______________________________________________ Xdoclet-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xdoclet-devel
