Keep Java mode from indenting to javadoc space
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 23 March, 2005 - 19:44
I'm certain I had this problem fixed once, but I can't find whatever documentation I used. I've just come back to JEdit from Netbeans, so I can't quite recall what changes I made. I'm using JEdit 4.2Final.

If I'm typing a Java file, and I enter a Javadoc, followed by a class or method declaration, when I press <enter> on the line, it indents to the * on the javadoc. Example:

I type:

/**
 * javadoc comment
 */
public class MyClass {


Jedit automatically indents to:

/**
 * javadoc comment
 */
 public class MyClass {


inserting the space at the beginning of the line. I don't want this to happen. Can anybody tell me what I need to do to fix it; I suspect I'll have to edit the java mode file, but I'm not overly familiar with the syntax. I looked at the java mode, but nothing popped out to solve this issue.

Thanks,
Dusty

Actually, I figured it out, just now. All I had to do was comment out these two lines:
<PROPERTY NAME="indentOpenBrackets" VALUE="{" />
<PROPERTY NAME="indentCloseBrackets" VALUE="}" />
In the java.xml mode file. I'm pretty sure this disables some other indention features, but I haven't missed them; my braces are auto-generated by an abbreviation anyway.

There is one more question though, is it possible to have JEdit automatically fill in Javadoc comment *'s when newlines are automatically wrapped?

Thanks,
Dusty
