1. In a JUnit Test project
2. In the packages view, copy class TestSetup
3. Paste it as inner class to ActiveTest
4. The pasted class is not indented.

I agree that copy paste is not changing anything, but indention would be handy.

I like the idea of a context sensitive paste.
It could be even more sensitive an import required imports.
Nice to have for now

IDEA has this feature and it's great. It correctly indents the pasted area and 
checks for required imports. Btw, you should really look at IDEA and try to 
implement most of it's unique features. It's the best IDE I've tried.

Is the identation working on Build 200211271305? I supose it is, but it a wrong
way. What happens to me is that I use a 4 space identation and eclipse is
identint everything ok. When I copy-paste something the pasted code appears with
a 8 space identation...

I don't belive it's still possible to paste classes as inner classes. Closing.
