Question

So Eclipse can auto-format my css files under Source->Format, or by hitting Cntl-Shift-F.

When I group selectors for a single rule, eclipse formats it like this:

.planner th,.planner td {
    border: 1px solid black;
}

I would really like Eclipse to add a space between the selectors to aide readability, like this:

.planner th, .planner td {
    border: 1px solid black;
}

Is there any way I can configure Eclipse to do this? I’m running Eclipse Indigo.

Answer 1

The Aptana Studio plugin for eclipse has a formatter that’s pre-configured according to your needs.

I recommend using it regardless as it ease up the development process a great deal for web developers (all sorts of nifty features like built-in Git integration, code assist for common JavaScript libraries, integrated FTP client, embedded AJAX server [Jaxer], nice themes included, etcetera, etcetera…).
