Hi Ivan! I hope you've checked out the java-format-sources command.Though it does not
precisely perform the operation this issue requests - It still helps you to format a file
(or folder recursively) of Java source files specifying your own eclipse code format
profile.So you can just generate all your code with forge and then format it with your own
code conventions at one go.
Provide formatter configuration when using Forge
------------------------------------------------
Key: FORGE-2202
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-2202
Project: Forge
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Builtin Plugins, Configuration, Parsers / File Manipulation
Affects Versions: 2.x Future
Reporter: Ivan St. Ivanov
Fix For: 2.x Future
When Forge generates code it formats it with the current Forge [Eclipse-based] formatter:
3 spaces indentation and opening braces on the next line. As mentioned by George in the
mailing list, if you develop an addon, it is possible to control that via the Roaster API
by calling Roaster.format() passing as an argument the Eclipse formatter profile XML.
However, it would be a good idea if I am just a Forge user to be able to configure the
already existing addons that generate code (e.g. the new entity command) to use a
formatter that I have provided, so that the generated code follows the code conventions
adopted in the project/team I work in
