Eclipse reformat just edited the lines

Question

I am working with Java. If I press Ctrl + Shift + F in Eclipse Helios, it will automatically format the whole file instead of the lines that I edited. This becomes a nightmare during registration when someone else uses a different style in the same file. Is there a way to tell eclipse to only format the affected lines in a file.

Answer 1

If you select a range of lines in the editor, the format will be executed only on this range, if nothing is selected, the entire file will be formatted.

You can change the formatting style used in the / Java / Code Style / Formatter settings.

You can control the formatting and other actions that are performed when saving the file in the Jova / Editor / Save Actions settings.

Answer 2

See the settings page for available save actions.

Format only saved lines. However, if you press Ctrl + shift + fi, don't think that there is a way to save only edited lines.
