Describes how the Plug-in integrates into the Eclipse IDE.
The Jalopy preferences are available through the Eclipse preferences dialog. In order to access the preferences, on Mac OS X you use → and select the Jalopy item on the left pane. On other platforms the dialog is available through → . In order to quickly locate the item, you might want to type “Jalopy” in the filter field at the top of the left pane.
The main preferences page lets you manage your Jalopy profiles. A profile stores the actual code convention that defines the formatting style, as well as user-specific data like file and dialog histories. You can add, remove, configure, activate and associate any number of profiles. For a detailed explanation of the available options, please refer to the section called “Main window”.
Note
Due to technical reasons it is currently not possible to configure profiles from within Eclipse when running on Mac OS X. When using Mac OS X, you need to invoke the Jalopy preferences dialog from outside Eclipse. Simply install the Console Plug-in and invoke the dialog as described in the section called “Configuration”. Configure your code convention and afterwards export it to a file. From within Eclipse you can then import this configuration
