Generated code does not use indentation #47

Closed vladimirc closed 9 years ago

vladimirc commented 9 years ago

The generated code should follow the Java Programming Style Guide. For example the proper use of indentation, tabs and spacing.

I tend to agree, but:

Eclipse or any IDE can do it for you automatically. Or some Maven plugins.
it artificially complexifies the code of the compilers

Also, this comment is valid for all compilers, not just Java (I renamed the issue).

We need some prettyPrint just before it is written in to the source file. I guess that we can reuse some existing code or maybe there is something in Java PDE for that.

HEADS IDE (one of the basic Eclipse feature) supports automatic reformatting. I recommend to use that as post-processing after the code has been generated.
