Eclipse - import code format settings

10,721

In addition to @Dmitry Durkin answer.

You have to manually create new formatter(and/or clean up) profile which matches the one to one settings inside settings.jar. Hoping eclipse provides all the one to one mapping. Not take much time.

In eclipse go to Window > Preferences. Navigate to Java > Code style > Formatter. Here create new formatter which matches the settings in settings.jar.

Use this new formatter profile to create new clean up profile in Java > Code style > Cleanup for additional settings like Removing trailing spaces etc.

Right click on your project(s) and go to Source > Clean up or Source > Format. To clean up/format all your project(s) in one go.

    Hi I was using intellij where I added code setting jar by following steps:

    Import Settings and then point to this JAR. Then right click on the module and do "Reformat Code"

    But now I am using same project in eclipse. How can I use above setting jar in clipse and format code ?
