When setting up the Workbench you can decide what formatting should be applied. To modify the default code formatting select Windows - Preferences - Java - Code Formatter as shown in Figure 2-11. Use the tabs at the top of the page to modify various aspects of the code formatting. The sample code in the bottom right pane shows you a preview of the effects of changes that you make. The code formatting options are almost self explaining. However a detailed description of each option is provided in Application Developer s help manual. Note To apply the formatting rules defined here select Format from the Java editor context menu. Some formatting for example indenting of braces will be done on the fly
