使用Java Eclipse代码格式化程序对if（）中的条件进行缩进

Question

I would like to set code style in Eclipse Formatter that will align (indent) conditions in if instruction to the same column (in case of conditions in different lines).

This is the example of what I would like to achieve:

if (very_awesome_variable == quite_awesome_value_1 ||
    very_awesome_variable == quite_awesome_value_2 ||
    very_awesome_variable == quite_awesome_value_3) {
    // do something
} else if (very_awesome_variable == quite_awesome_value_4 ||
           very_awesome_variable == quite_awesome_value_5 ||
           very_awesome_variable == quite_awesome_value_6) {
    // do some other thing
}

This is what I have currently:

if (very_awesome_variable == quite_awesome_value_1 ||
    very_awesome_variable == quite_awesome_value_2 ||
    very_awesome_variable == quite_awesome_value_3) {
    // do something
} else if (very_awesome_variable == quite_awesome_value_4 ||
    very_awesome_variable == quite_awesome_value_5 ||
    very_awesome_variable == quite_awesome_value_6) {
    // do some other thing
}

I honestly don't see any option for configuring indentation of such thing.

I also believe that conditions in first block are indented in my way only because I use 4 spaces indentation and if ( is exactly 4 characters long. It looks like general indentation configuration is applied here.

I would be happy even if I could turn off indentation for such lines and do it manually, so auto formatter will not break this again.

Answer 1

Go into window - preferences java -> code style -> formatter

You can then edit the indentation, simply use the search box to find "if" options
