How to indent the fluent interface pattern "correctly" with eclipse?
Solution 1:
With Eclipse 3.6, this seems doable by configuring your custom Java > Code Style > Formatter profile. Edit it and go to the Line Wrapping tab and select Function Call > Qualified invocations. Then, in the Settings for qualified invocations, configure things like this:
This will (should) produce the expected result:
SomeEntity e1 = new SomeEntity.Builder()
.age(10)
.amount(10.0d)
.firstname("foo")
.lastname("bar")
.build();
But this will obviously affect all the code, which I personally don't like. So I'm using the new Off/On Tags from Eclipse 3.6 (last tab when editing a profile):
And enclose the parts that don't get formatted as I want and do it myself:
// @formatter:off
SomeEntity e2 = new SomeEntity.Builder()
.age(10)
.amount(10.0d)
.firstname("foo")
.lastname("bar")
.build();
// @formatter:on
Pick your poison :)
