Description Gabriel Petrovay

Hi,

I am using Indigo Classic + Eclipse Web Developer Tools on windows 7.

I have configured the save actions in the JSDT editor but no actions are taken whatsoever. No success as well after reopening the editor. (Colors work for eaxmple, so preferences are saved, conidered, etc).

I have configured both code formatting and additional rules (use always block for if's, trim trailing spaces, etc.).

Is this a known problem?

Are you referring to saving JS files or HTML/JSP pages that have JS in them?

None of the save actions take effect unless your file is in a Source Folder of a JavaScript Project (just like with JDT).  Where was the file?

Works as expected in JavaScript projects.

See bug 260463.  If you've got here because you're having the same problem, then it may be because Eclipse lets to edit the save actions via the context menu of a .js file, but then does not apply all the preferences it lets you set.

Save actions it would seem, requires Configure -> Convert to JavaScript project.
