Bug 367224

Build Identifier: 20110916-0149

Consider the following code snippet.  This code is a bit difficult to read.

lastNearestSeries = nearestSeries;
lastNearestItem = nearestItem;
series = dataset.getSeries(lastNearestSeries);
number = series.getValue(lastNearestItem);
value = value.doubleValue();
period = series.getTimePeriod(lastNearestItem);
time = period.getFirstMillisecond();

Consider this same code reformatted.  This code is much easier to read because all of the equal signs (=) are lined up.

lastNearestSeries = nearestSeries;
lastNearestItem   = nearestItem;
series            = dataset.getSeries(lastNearestSeries);
number            = series.getValue(lastNearestItem);
value             = number.doubleValue();
period            = series.getTimePeriod(lastNearestItem);
time              = period.getFirstMillisecond();

Please improve the code formatter so that it will align (=) within a section
of contiguous lines.  If there is a blank line(s) breaking up two different
sections of code, provide an option to ignore these blank line(s) and
consider the two sections as one.  If there is a non-blank line(s) breaking
up two different sections of code, provide a spinner option to ignore up to N
lines.  Of course, method boundaries break a section regardless of the
previous setting.

Reproducible: Always
