    <p>I'm interested in learning about the available choices of <strong>high-quality, stand-alone source code formatters for Java.</strong></p> <p>The formatter must be stand-alone, that is, it must support a <strong>"batch" mode</strong> that is <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/384101"><strong>decoupled from any particular development environment</strong></a>. Ideally, it should be <strong>independent of any particular operating system</strong> as well. So, a built-in formatter for the IDE du jour is of little interest here (unless that IDE supports batch mode formatter invocation, perhaps from the command line). A formatter written in closed-source C/C++ that only runs on, say, Windows is not ideal, but is somewhat interesting.</p> <p><strong>To be clear, a "formatter" (or "beautifier") is not the same as a "style checker."</strong> A formatter accepts source code as input, applies styling rules, and produces styled source code that is semantically equivalent to the original source code. Syntactic modifications are limited to things like modifying code layout as in changing whitespace, or organizing <code>import</code> statements. Very little, if any, other refactoring is performed. A style checker also applies styling rules, but it simply <em>reports</em> rule violations <em>without producing modified source code</em> as output. So the picture looks like this:</p> <p><strong>Formatter</strong> (produces modified source code that conforms to styling rules)</p> <p>Read Source Code &rarr; Apply Styling Rules &rarr; Write Styled Source Code</p> <p><strong>Style Checker</strong> (does not produce modified source code)</p> <p>Read Source Code &rarr; Apply Styling Rules &rarr; Write Rule Violations</p> <p><strong>Further Clarifications</strong></p> <p>Solutions must be highly configurable. I want to be able to specify my own style, not simply select from a preset list.</p> <p>Also, I'm <strong>not looking for a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/332166">general purpose pretty-printer written in Java</a></strong> that can pretty-print many things. I want to style Java code.</p> <p>I'm also <strong>not <em>necessarily</em> interested in a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/251622">grand-unified formatter</a></strong> for many languages. I suppose it might be nice for a solution to have support for languages other than Java, but that is not a requirement.</p> <p>Furthermore, <strong><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/206441">tools that only perform code highlighting</a> are <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Hand_Grenade_of_Antioch" rel="noreferrer">right</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOrgLj9lOwk" rel="noreferrer">out</a>.</strong></p> <p>I'm also <strong>not interested in a web service.</strong> I want a tool that I can run locally.</p> <p>Finally, solutions need not be restricted to open source, public domain, shareware, free software, commercial, or anything else. <strong>All forms of licensing are acceptable</strong>.</p>

    2. COI whipped something up that is a standalone Helios (Eclipse 3.6) that only does code formatting. It is <13 MB, Java only. http://openmrs-mailing-list-archives.1560443.n2.nabble.com/cross-platform-cross-IDE-code-formatting-I-believe-it-is-doable-and-halfway-there-td5522493.html#a5522493

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
