Description Martijn

2011-02-07 15:29:36 EST

Build Identifier: M20100211-1343

it would be nice if there were an option to automatically organise code. I like to keep my files as
fields
enums
constructors
accessors
other methods

and each one of those ordered by access (first public, then protected, then private)

it would be nice if I were able to automatically do this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
enhancement, unreproducable

Did you try 'Window > Preferences > Java > Appearance > Members Sort order' ? Does it not fit your needs ?

Besides what Deepak mentioned, you can enable the sorting on save, see 'Save Actions' preference/properties page.

I did not know that, thanks.
It would still be nice if, in addition to this, I could do this on the fly e.g. in a (context) menu or button (source/organise code?). Also, I miss the ability to do accessors separately. Should I mark this bug as closed and open a new one for that, or just keep this one?

Thanks Markus.
I'll go wash the egg from my face now.
