Description Dotan Cohen

Build Identifier: 

Rarely will a team of programmers agree on formatting options such as tabs vs. spaces, opening curly brackets on newlines, and other options. It would be nice if the user could set one "profile" of options for editing, and another for saving/committing.

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

What are you programming in? Java? C/C++?

Mostly Java in Eclipse. However, could this feature not be implemented for all the languages that the IDE supports?

There's currently no language layer.

‎Thanks, indeed a dupe. I should have used Google instead of the internal Bugzilla search.
