Can Eclipse Java Editor Be Formatted Like .NET Between Methods?

Question

I am really liking the power of Java over VB .NET. But the one thing I dis like are no line breaks between java methods like in VB between subs. Is there a break setting that can mimic VB to make Eclipse look and feel like VB?

Answer 1

Check your Java Formatter preferences.

Open the Preferences dialog from the Window menu and navigate to Java->Code Style->Formatter (or just type "format" into the search box on the left and pick it). Edit a profile of your own and you can set, from the Blank Lines tab, to have one before each method.
