Command For Correct Indentation For Checkstyle In Eclipse Mac

Checkstyle will process the specified files and by default report errors to standard out in plain format. Checkstyle requires a configuration XML file that configures the checks to apply. Command line options are: -c configurationFile - specifies the location of the file that defines the configuration modules.

@i3ensays Your team should have a coding standard that clearly states how code is formatted. This would save time by preventing the battles you mention. You should adopt one asap but that standard will 100% certainly state that tabs are never to be used because this holy war was won by the 'space people' ages ago so a standard won't help you. Aside from alignment issues one of the biggest reasons for spaces only is that revision control tools and code reviewers won't have to deal with this issue. I started on your side of this battle 20 years ago but eventually learned to embrace the space. – Jun 22 '14 at 21:11 •. Java Editor • Click Window » Preferences • Expand Java » Code Style • Click Formatter • Click the Edit button • Click the Indentation tab • Under General Settings, set Tab policy to: Spaces only • Click OK ad nauseam to apply the changes.

[ Note: If necessary save profile with a new name as the default profile cannot be overwritten.] Default Text Editor Before version 3.6: Window->Preferences->Editors->Text Editors->Insert spaces for tabs Version 3.6 and later: • Click Window » Preferences • Expand General » Editors • Click Text Editors • Check Insert spaces for tabs • Click OK ad nauseam to apply the changes. Note that the default text editor is used as the basis for many non-Java editors in Eclipse. It's astonishing that this setting wasn't available until 3.3. C / C++ • Click Window » Preferences • Expand C/C++ » Code Style • Click Formatter • Click the New button to create a new profile, then OK to continue • Click the Indentation tab • Under General Settings, set Tab policy to: Spaces only • Click OK ad nauseam to apply the changes. HTML • Click Window » Preferences • Expand Web » HTML Files • Click Editor • Under Formatting, select the Indent using spaces radio button • Click OK to apply the changes. CSS Follow the same instructions for HTML, but select CSS Files instead of HTML Files.

JSP By default, JSP files follow the formatting preferences for HTML Files. XML XML files spacing is configured in Preferences. • Click Window » Preferences • Expand XML » XML Files • Click Editor • Select Indent using spaces • You can specify the Indentation size if needed: number of spaces to indent.

Just a quick tip for people stumbling across this thread; there is one more place where this setting can also be set, in your project! Eclipse supports project-specific settings, and some projects will use their own, un-managed tabs/spaces settings, which won't show up anywhere except the current project Properties.

This can be managed through: • Right-Click current Project in Package Explorer; • Properties -> Java Code Style • Turn off all the project-specific options This will generally only be an issue if you import someone else's code into your Eclipse. When I faced this problem I had 'use spaces for tabs' set to true everywhere I could find, and yet I was still getting tabs.

It ended up being because tabs were used elsewhere in the file and it was trying to do smart indentation or something frustrating. It was resolved by selecting the entire contents of the file and pressing, on a mac, command+shift+f. Best version of mac os for core 2 duodenal. This applies the given formatting to a file. I do not know the same keybinding on windows, but give that a try. At that point I begin getting the expected behavior.
