Flex Formatter - Browse Files at SourceForge.net

  • System Requirements: Eclipse 3.3+, JDK 1.5+. The intent is for this software to be used with FlexBuilder 3 or 4, but there are no actual dependencies.
  • Install (several ways to install)
  • Add a remote update site through Help->Software Updates: http://flexformatter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/FlexFormatter/FlexPrettyPrintCommandUpdateSite. The exact instructions differ depending on which version of Eclipse you are using. You should be able to turn on Eclipse auto updates and be notified when a new version is published. You may have to set up proxy settings in the Eclipse preferences if you are behind a corporate firewall. Note: if you are running Eclipse 3.5 and the update site doesn't work for you, try adding "/site.xml" on the end and see if that helps.
  • Download the zip file and extract the 3 plugins jars into the Eclipse plugins directory (Eclipse 3.3) or the dropins directory (Eclipse 3.4+) and restart Eclipse (with -clean if you are using 3.3). Enough people have had problems with this with Eclipse 3.4+ that I recommend only using the update site.
  • In FlashBuilder 4.5, Adobe has now defined a formatting command to the Ctrl+shift+F keystroke. This means that that the same keystroke is assigned to 2 different commands. You can go to Windows->Preferences->General-Keys to unassign/reassign the keystroke for one version or the other. If you use "format on save", you will be unaffected.
  • Usage See the docs page for a usage doc that describes the options. https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/flexformatter/index.php?title=Preferences There is also usage doc in the ? (question mark) help on the preference pages.
  • Bugs: Undoubtedly. If you find something, create a bug/feature report through the 'tracker'.
