In Eclipse, if I select some code which is split on more than one line and I want to format it on one line only, how can I do that?
I want to know if it's possible to configure the js formatter inside eclipse so to be able to use just SHIFT + CMD + F.
Code split on several lines:
$('a#pop1').fancybox({
'padding': 0,
'margin-left': 30,
'width': 728,
'height': 400,
'maxWidth': 728,
'maxHeight': 400
});
and how I would like to achieve, split on a single line.
$('a#pop1').fancybox({'padding': 0,'margin-left': 30,'width': 728,'height': 400,'maxWidth': 728,'maxHeight': 400});
You need to do couple of thing to prevent code formatting.
Follow below step :
Right click on project and open properties.
Go to Preferences > JavaScript > Code Style > Formatter
Check Enable Project Specific settings.
Click on Edit button. Change Profile Name on top of dialog.
Go to New Line tab. Un-Checked option under Object initializers section.
Now go to Line Wrapping tab. increase Maximum line width parameter value.
Click on Ok than Applly than Ok.
This will now prevent your JavaScript code to format like above.
After that select your code and press Ctrl + Shift + f key combination to format your code.
Maybe this link can be helpful for you: Using the code formatter - Eclipse
Or this one, maybe, that has got some instructions: Formatting Your Code Using the Eclipse Code Formatter
try this -
Preferences > JavaScript > Code Style > Formatter
These are the steps:
Create a new profile (since you cannot edit the builted-in one), if you haven't already, and click Edit....
Open the Line Wrapping tab.
in it edit settings for your function
Click Apply, and Ok.
How can I set my Eclipse's code formatter to allow code rows longer than 80 characters. I know that very long lines is hard to read but in my opinion 80 characters per line is very small value for wide screen monitors.
In Preferences, go to Java > Code Style > Formatter and edit/create the formatter and go to tab Line Wrapping. There in you can set the Maximum line width.
Further on you can in General > Editors > Text Editors also set the Print margin column which should shift up that margin (a 1px wide vertical line in the right side of your code) to the desired position. This however doesn't affect the formatter, only the human eye.
This answer was a bit old, and the path have changed with new versions of Eclipse.
To set the Maximum line width, go to Project > Properties. In the Properties window, go to Java Code Style > Formatter. Select your Active Profile (let the one which is already selected, this is the one you are currently using) and click on Edit. In the tab Line Wrapping, you can set the Maximum line width (80 by default). You can also go to the tab Comments and uncheck Enable Line Comment Formatting if you want your comments not to be formatted on multiple lines with Ctrl+Shift+F.
Don't forget to change the name of the Profile Name; if you don't change it, you won't be able to save your changes (provided the one you are editing is Built-In
Also, you can set the Print margin column in Window > Preferences > General > Editors > Text Editors.
Regarding the "small" value (80), this has just changed (in August 2014).

Edit tab Line Wrapping
A three-years old issue is finally addressed:
bug 356851: Default line size of Java code formatter should be increased to 120
It is not mentioned in the Eclipse Project 4.5 (Mars) M1 - New and Noteworthy, but it is still "Verified for 4.5 M1 using I20140804-2000 build".
I have a specific project where I need to wrap every code line at 65 characters. I have set up the eclipse Java code formatter properly for this. But what I really want is a vertical line to be drawn in the editor showing where the max line width while I am typing, not just when I run the formmater. I know this feature is available in some capacity because it is displayed in the code formatter property page.
I don't see any option in eclipse to turn this on and I didn't see any plug-ins that do it on Eclipse Plugin Central
Look in Windows / Preferences (at least on Windows - IIRC it moves around for different operating systems) then:
General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Show Print Margin
Tick this and it should show the line.
As a quick way of finding this, use the search filter in the top and filter on "margin".
Notes from the comments - unverified by me, but I have no reason to doubt them:
It has changed somehow in 2016: For details see [here] (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=495490#c2) You have to set it in the formatter: From menu [Window]-->[Preferences], select [Java]-->[Code Style]-->[Formatter], and then edit your formatter profile. In the tab page [Line wrapping], you can find a setting named "Maximum line width". Change this setting, and the print margin in Java source editor will be changed too.
In Eclipse Luna (4.4):
Choose menu Window\Preference . Look at top-left corner, in search box type filter text, type: margin.
In section Apperance color option, Choose Print margin. Choose Show print margin. In text box Print margin column , type 65 as what you want.
#Jon Skeet's answer is incomplete.
(1/2) First, do what he said:
Window --> Preferences --> General --> Editors --> Text Editors --> check the box for Show Print Margin
Ticking this box will show the vertical line.
As a quick way of finding this, use the search filter in the top and filter on "margin".
However, this only shows the line, but under most situations the "Print margin column" value there is flat-out ignored.
To set the column number for where the line should be, do what #John Percival Hackworth mentions here:
(2/2) Go to:
Window --> Preferences --> C/C++ [or whatever language you are using] --> Code Style --> Formatter --> click Edit --> under the Line Wrapping tab set the value you desire for Maximum line width.
Side note:
Use Alt + Shift + Y to toggle soft line wrapping on and off. It will soft wrap (ie: no carriage return) at the end of the screen, however, not at the column you set above.
How do you enforce hard line wrapping at the column you set above (ie: that adds a carriage return)? I don't know yet. If you figure it out let me know. In Sublime Text 3 (a much better editor but with a much worse indexer/function definition finder :() it's Alt + Q.
Update: I think it may be possible with the "CppStyle" plugin, which uses clang-format, by using Ctrl + Shift + F to apply the auto-format, but I don't know the exact instructions to make it work yet.

Set tab width: Changing editor tab width in eclipse 3.5
After some months with Espressif, but also with other brands plugged-in Eclipse, I found how to enlarge maximum line width. I made a lot of attempts and show how to do for Espressif-IDE:
Right click a project->properties->C/C++ General->Formatter
->Enable Project specific settings->
New->Give your profile a name and base it on a built-in formatter: I choose BSD/Allman->Edit this new profile->within Line Wrapping tab type for example 200 for Maximum line width->Apply changes.
Format source files: you'll have long lines.
Before I did the same manouvres starting from:
Window->Preferences->C/C++->code Style->Formatter... : that never worked.
How can I show line numbers by default in Eclipse?
Window → Preferences → General → Editors → Text Editors → Show line numbers.
Edit: I wrote this long ago but as #ArtOfWarfar and #voidstate mentioned you can now simply:
Right click the gutter and select "Show Line Numbers":
If this doesn't work it may be overridden by your current settings. You can right-click in the bar to the left of the code where line numbers would normally appear and turn them on with the context menu.
Update November 2015:
In Eclipse Mars 4.5.1, line numbers are (annoyingly) turned off by default again. Follow the below instructions to enable it.
Update December 2013:
Lars Vogel just published on his blog:
Line numbers are default in Eclipse SDK Luna (4.4) as of today
(December 10, 2013)
We conducted a user survey if users want to have line numbers activated in text editors in the Eclipse IDE by default.
The response was very clear:
YES : 80.07% (1852 responses)
NO : 19.93% (461 responses)
Total : 2313
Skipped: 15
With Bug 421313, Review - Line number should be activated by default, we enabled it for the Eclipse SDK build, I assume other Eclipse packages will follow.
Update August 2014
Line number default length is now 120 (instead of 80) for Eclipse Mars 4.5M1.
See "How to customize Eclipse's text editor code formating".
Original answer (March 2009)
To really have it by default, you can write a script which ensure, before launching eclipse, that:
[workspace]\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.editors.prefs does contain:
lineNumberRuler=true
(with [workspace] being the root directory of your eclipse workspace)
Then eclipse will be opened with "line numbers shown 'by default' "
Otherwise, you can also type 'CTRL+1' and then "line", which will give you access to the command "Show line numbers"
(that will switch to option "show line numbers" in the text editors part of the option.
Or you can just type "numb" in Windows Preferences to access to the Text Editor part:
Picture from "How to display line numbers in Eclipse" of blog "Mkyong.com"
As simple as that.
Ctrl+F10, then N, to Show or hide line numbers.
Reference : http://www.shortcutworld.com/en/win/Eclipse.html
Slight variation on Mac OSX:
Eclipse → Preferences → General → Editors → Text Editors → Show line numbers
Windows → Preferences → General → Text Editors → Show numberlines
in this file
[workspace].metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime.settings\org.eclipse.ui.editors.prefs
make sure the parameter
lineNumberColor=0,0,0
is NOT 255,255, 255, which is white
Go to Windows → Preferences → General → Text Editors → Show numberlines. Click OK, then Apply changes. Then it will show the line count automatically.
one of the easy way is using shortcuts like : Ctrl+F10, then press n "it show line number and hide line numbers.
The top answer is good but you can also bind it to a key ( shorcut ) to toggle it..
Window > Preferences > Keys then enter "Line Numbers" in filter and bind it to a key.
I use CTRL + S + L.
Open Eclipse
goto -> Windows -> Preferences -> Editor -> Text Editors -> Show Line No
Tick the Show Line No checkbox
click on window tab and click on preferences
do this and check show line number
the eclipse changes the perferences's position
to eclipse -> perferences
On a Mac do this:
cmd + , or ADT -> Preferences
Expand General -> Editors ->Text Editors
Check box: Show line numbers
Eclipse has a search feature in the top left box of the Preferences.
Type in 'line numbers' in that search box, and presto...
In case you're tired of googling each time you forget...
this will be the appropriate solution for asked question:
String lineNumbers =
AbstractDecoratedTextEditorPreferenceConstants.EDITOR_LINE_NUMBER_RULER;
EditorsUI.getPreferenceStore().setValue(lineNumbers, true);
Is there a way to hide the text limit line in netbeans 6.5?
In NetBeans 6.9, setting Right Margin to 0 effectively hides the text limit line.
Set the value in Preferences > Editor > Formatting > All Languages > Right Margin.
(Mac OS X 10.6.4, NetBeans 6.9)
line is not moving to 200 column, but you can hide it setting its color to same as the background
You can set it to 0. So It will not be visible.
Are you talking about the line running thru the right side, by default at the 80 column point? That is Options -> Editor -> Indentation -> Right margin. I have it set at 200 columns which pushes it off the right side of the screen.
Hi~ I found out how to hide "Text limit line" :)
Tools -> Options -> Export(Popup Win) -> Browse.. (Select target "ccc.zip" file)
Select Options for Export : Check at "Editor" -> OK
Edit xml file "\Editors\Preferences\org-netbeans-modules-editor-settings-CustomPreferences.xml" in "ccc.zip" file.
<entry javaType="java.lang.Boolean" name="text-limit-line-visible" xml:space="preserve">
<value><![CDATA[false]]></value></entry>
Tools -> Options -> Import "ccc.zip" file
Done
As for now (October '18) in NetBeans 8.2 + 9 you can hide the text limit line or actually change its color by going to Options -> Fonts & Colors -> Highlighting -> Text Limit Line -> Foreground
Remember to go to tools, options, fonts & colors, highlighting tab, text limit line selected before exporting ccp.zip....
There is an easy way to disable the warning generated by NetBeans for number of lines.
Goto Tools > Options > Editor > Hints
Find the checkbox Too Many Lines > un-check the checkbox
and click Apply.
Enjoy :)
Have you tried to see if your project properties have formatting that overwrites the global properties?
