Description Taro Kyo

This is a feature request.

Currently, only Java Code Style Formatter can be exported as an XML, and can be imported from XML.

However, for JavaScript, the Code Style Formatter can only import XMLs.

It would be wonderful to have an export XML button feature to be added to the UI of the JavaScript Code Style Formatter and CleanUp in the Preferences dialog, so that it is consistent with the Java Code Style Formatter's export feature.

JavaScript is used for Java Server Pages and web-related resources.

The menus where the Code Styles for JavaScript lacking the "Export" button are:

Preference > JavaSCript > Code Style > Clean Up
Preference > JavaScript > Code Style > Formatter

Close if duplicate.

Apparently, the Export buttons are located in the dialog that appears when you click on the "Edit" button.

Closing this issue as it's working as intended, but it's just hidden.
