Allows using Eclipse's code formatter directly from IntelliJ. Solves the problem of maintaining a common code style in team environments where both IDEA and Eclipse are used.

Currently supports formatting of

• Java (also emulates Eclipse's imports optimizing)
• JavaScript
• GWT

Instructions

• Install the plugin
• Tutorial: Installing, Updating and Uninstalling Repository Plugins
• Plugin repository page
• Configure it
• Get Eclipse formatter settings file: - Either export formatter profiles to get *.xml file
  • Go to Eclise | Windows | Preferences | Java | Code Style | Formatter
  • Eclipse do not export default profiles, so you have to make your own ("New" button)
  • Export the profile ("Export all..." button.)
  • The result should look like this - Or enable project specific formatter settings to get org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs
  • With your project open in Eclipse's workspace, right-click the project and choose Properties.
  • Go to Java Code Style | Formatter and select Enable project specific settings.
  • Click OK to save the settings.
  • Go to the .settings directory inside your project's directory. There you will find the org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs file which contains the Eclipse formatter settings.
  • The result should look like this
• Set path to the file (IntelliJ | Settings | Eclipse Code Formatter | field "Eclipse preference file"),
• When using exported profiles(xml file), select desired profile in the combobox "Java formatter profile"
• Check "Optimizing Imports" configuration
  • Set import order
    • Either leave the default
    • Or set path to Eclipse configuration file: - Go to Eclise | Windows | Preferences | Java | Code Style | Organize Imports - Either click on "Export...", (example) - Or enable project specific settings and use "org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs" file which should contain the line "org.eclipse.jdt.ui.importorder=..."
  • Value of "Class count to use import with ''" and "Name count to use static import with ''" (Settings | Code Style | Imports) - Eclipse uses value of 30 by default
  • For versions lower than 4.0 - make sure to keep disabled IntelliJ's Import Optimizing in the reformat dialog (Settings | Editor | Show "Reformat Code" dialog), the plugin will take care of imports anyway
  • For versions higher than 4.0 - imports will be reordered together with normal IntelliJ's import optimizing
  • Disable "Optimize imports on the fly"
• Format code as usual, notice the green bubble notification about successful formatting
• notifications can be disabled at (Settings | Notifications)
• Use Ctrl+Alt+O as usual, it will use this plugin
• Use Ctrl + ~ for quick switch between formatters or icon at the main toolbar

Possible problems with Java formatting

• nothing was formatted or formatting failed
  • make sure you are using proper language level (Main Menu | File | Project Structure)
• trailing spaces inside javadocs are stripped.
  • set "Strip trailing spaces on save" to "None"
• file is formatted differently
  • The file is actually formatted fine, it just looks different in the editor, as the tab size and indendation are set differently in IntelliJ (Settings | Code Style | Java) than in Eclipse. Using of either tab only or space only whitespace is recommended.
  • Or it is a bug.
• Eclipse indendation is configured for 2 spaces, but a new line gets indented by 4 spaces when Enter is pressed.
  • change code style in IntelliJ. Not all things get formatted by this plugin when you type them.
• If nothing helps
  • check old issues
  • create new issue here or write me an email

Troubleshooting

If it is mysteriously not working, edit IntelliJ IDEA XX\bin\log.xml: add following lines before < root >:

	<category name="krasa.formatter">
		<level value="DEBUG"/>
	</category>

and restart. Try to reformat something and send me the log...
