Is the Open Source Jalopy Eclipse plugin compatible with Ganymede?

After much searching, I found the download for the eclipse version of jalopy. Is this compatible with Eclipse 3.4? It's dated 2006.

I've copied the extracted folder to my plugins directory and run eclipse -clean, but I can't find anything matching 'jalopy' in preferences.

If it's not compatible, are there any (free) alternatives?

Solution

  • Just an update:

    Note: the latest eclipse3.5 Galileo code formatter now:

    • supports most of Jalopy formatting option.
    • has made quite a few improvement on formatters (look for the term 'formatter' in those building notes of jdt-core.

    It also can be run from the command-line if needed.

    For a specific formatting option which would not be correctly managed by eclipse, you can define a codeFormatter extension point. More practical details in this SO question.
