Indent class bodies

When enabled, indentation is increased for statements within class, interface, enum and annotation type declarations. Disabling this option might only make sense when using the GNU brace style.

Since 1.4

Example 2.624. Indented class body

public class Foo
    {
    --->public Foo()
    --->    {
    --->    }

    --->public boolean isFoo(Object other)
    --->    {
    --->        return other instanceof Foo;
    --->    }
    }

Example 2.625. Class body without increased indentation

public class Foo
    {
    public Foo()
        {
        }

    public boolean isFoo(Object other)
        {
            return other instanceof Foo;
        }
    }

Indent method bodies

When enabled, indentation is increased for statements within method and constructor bodies. Disabling this option might only make sense when using the GNU brace style.

Since 1.4

Example 2.626. Indented method body

public void toString()
    {
    --->return this.line + " " + this.column + " " + this.text;
    }

Example 2.627. Method body without increased indentation

public void toString()
    {
    return this.line + " " + this.column + " " + this.text;
    }

Indent "switch" bodies

The Sun Java code convention recommends a switch style where case statements are not indented relative to the switch statement as a whole. However, this option allows you to indent the case statements to make the entire switch statement stand out.

Example 2.628. Switch statement (unindented)

switch (prio) {
case Priority.ERROR_INT :
case Priority.FATAL_INT :
    color = Color.red;
    break;

case Priority.WARN_INT :
    color = Color.blue;
    break;

default:
    color = Color.black;
    break;
}

Example 2.629. Switch statement (indented)

switch (prio) {
--->case Priority.ERROR_INT :
--->case Priority.FATAL_INT :
--->    color = Color.red;
--->    break;

--->case Priority.WARN_INT :
--->    color = Color.blue;
--->    break;

--->default:
--->    color = Color.black;
--->    break;
}

Indent "case" bodies

When enabled, indentation is increased for statements within case statement bodies.

Since 1.4

Example 2.630. Indented case bodies

switch (prio) {
    case Priority.ERROR_INT :
    case Priority.FATAL_INT :
    --->color = Color.red;
    --->break;

    case Priority.WARN_INT :
    --->color = Color.blue;
    --->break;

    default:
    --->color = Color.black;
    --->break;
}

Example 2.631. Case statements without increased indentation

switch (prio) {
    case Priority.ERROR_INT :
    case Priority.FATAL_INT :
    color = Color.red;
    break;

    case Priority.WARN_INT :
    color = Color.blue;
    break;

    default:
    color = Color.black;
    break;
}

Indent block bodies

When enabled, indentation is increased for statements within blocks. Disabling this option might only make sense when using the GNU brace style.

Since 1.4

Example 2.632. Indented block

if (true)
    {
    --->doStuff();
    --->assertStuffDoneCorrectly();
    }

Example 2.633. Block without increased indentation

if (true)
    {
    doStuff();
    assertStuffDoneCorrectly();
    }

Indent labels

Specifies whether labels should be indented with the current indentation level.

Example 2.634. Unindented label

// advance to the first CLASS_DEF or INTERFACE_DEF
LOOP:
        for (AST child = tree.getFirstChild();
             child != null;
             child = child.getNextSibling()) {
            switch (child.getType()) {
                case JavaTokenTypes.CLASS_DEF :
                case JavaTokenTypes.INTERFACE_DEF :
                    next = child;
                    break LOOP;
                default :
                    break;
            }
        }

Example 2.635. Indented label

--->--->// advance to the first CLASS_DEF or INTERFACE_DEF
--->--->LOOP:
        for (AST child = tree.getFirstChild();
             child != null;
             child = child.getNextSibling()) {
            switch (child.getType()) {
                case JavaTokenTypes.CLASS_DEF :
                case JavaTokenTypes.INTERFACE_DEF :
                    next = child;
                    break LOOP;

                default :
                    break;
            }
        }

Indent first column comments

By default, all comments will be indented relative to their position in the code to avoid that comments break the logical structure of the program. But as for certain kind of comments it may be useful to put them at the first column, you can control here whether such comments should be printed without indentation.

Example 2.636. First column comment

    public static Printer create(AST node) {

/*
        if (node == null) {
            return new NullPrinter();
        }
*/
        return create(node.getType());
    }

Example 2.637. Indented comment

    public static Printer create(AST node) {

        /*
        if (node == null) {
            return new NullPrinter();
        }
        */
        return create(node.getType());
    }

Indent ternary operands

When enabled, indentation is increased for the operands of the ternary operator. This option is only present for historic reasons - to be able to address some unwanted behavior without breaking backwards compatibility. It is recommended to have this option enabled.

Since 1.8

Example 2.638. Indented ternary operands

text.setValidationSpec(config.getSpecification(),       |
                       config.getAda(data               |
                                     .hasTransmittal()  |
                                     ? data             |
                                       .getTransmitter()|
                                       .getElement()    |
                                     : data             |
                                       .getElement())); |

Example 2.639. Indented ternary operands

text.setValidationSpec(config.getSpecification(),       |
                       config.getAda(data               |
                                     .hasTransmittal()  |
                                     ? data             |
                                     .getTransmitter()  |
                                     .getElement()      |
                                     : data             |
                                     .getElement()));   |
