Re: [rules-dev] A checklist for Configuring Eclipse/IntelliJ is in the README.txt file

Hi Geoffrey, I'm an absolute dummy when confronted with Eclipse. Thanks to your detailed recipe, I found all the right buttons, tabs and what not, exactly as described by you, but tabbing didn't go away until I established a "project specific setting" for Java -> CodeStyle -> Formatter, giving it a new name ("Drools" - what else), etc. Idiots like me might need an additional hint to that effect. -W On 13 September 2010 14:43, Geoffrey De Smet <ge0ffrey.spam(a)gmail.com <mailto:ge0ffrey.spam@gmail.com>> wrote: I've documented a checklist for configuring eclipse and/or IntelliJ in the trunk/README.txt file.

Please take a moment of your time to check this stuff, so you can avoid the following headaches: - tabs VS spaces (not just in java but also in XML): merge problems - encoding: wierd bugs (especially with translated text that contains ë, ç or €) + merge problems - line endings: wierd bugs (with regex find/replaces, ...) + merge problems - license correctly: legally Configuring Eclipse =================== Code style ---------- Correct number of spaces for tabs: - Open menu "Window", menu item "Preferences". - Open tree item "Java", tree item "Code Style", tree item "Formatter". -- If you imported the trunk/eclipse-formatter.xml file, you don't need to set it here, but you do need to set it for XML anyway! -- Click button "Edit" of the active profile -- Tab "Indentation" --- Combobox "Tab policy": spaces only --- Indentation size: 4 --- Tab size: 4 -- If it is a build in profile, you need to change its name with the textfield on top - Open tree item "XML", tree item "XML Files", tree item "Editor". -- Radio button "Indent using space": on -- Indentation size: 2 Correct file encoding (UTF-8 except for properties files) and EOL (unix): - Open menu "Window", menu item "Preferences". - Open tree item "General", tree item "Workspace". -- Label "Text file encoding", radiobutton "Other", combobox "UTF-8" -- Label "New text file delimiter", radiobutton "Other", combobox "Unix" - Open tree item "XML", tree item "XML Files". -- Combobox "Encoding": ISO 10646/Unicode(UTF-8) - Open tree item "CSS", tree item "CSS Files". -- Combobox "Encoding": ISO 10646/Unicode(UTF-8) - Open tree item "HTML", tree item "HTML Files". -- Combobox "Encoding": ISO 10646/Unicode(UTF-8) - Note: i18n properties files must be in ISO-8859-1 as specified by the java ResourceBundle contract.
