Ok. No replies. I was trying to think positive: "Borland wouldn't
purposefully hobble the editor for their paying customers - it must be a
bug." But apparently, they have.
This is quite annoying. I paid almost $400 for the software. No Enterprise
or SQL tools, sure - that's fair enough - gotta pay the really big bucks for
that. But dang it, the editor should work and be fully functional. It seems
reasonable functionality for the Professional-level product.
I'm really disappointed.

I have JBuilder 8 SE (8.0.140.0). Running Windows XP Pro. I'm having
trouble with the Formatting options in the Project Properties. Blocks
Spaces, Blank Lines and Wrapping tabs are all not available. This
wouldn't
be so bad if I liked what the default settings are. The problem happens on
all my projects. How do I activate these tabs?
Thanks,

In my opinion this is the WORST thing that Borland ever has done with
one of their products. I am completely in agreement with you that this
should be an SE feature and not an enterprise feature. However, there
is a workaround (although it is a tad painful) in order to get this to
be what you want. First, you want to modify the formatting files that
you can find in your .jbuilder8 directory (mine was at c:Documents and
Settingsmyaccount.jbuilder8formatting) and open up the 4 ".codestyle"
files. You can find a lot of the formatting settings that you might
want to change. Just read through them to find the ones you don't
like...they're fairly obvious what they do.
Unfortunately, that's not quite enough. That just sets up how JBuilder
handles some of the code creations (ie auto try/catch statements). You
also have to modify your .jpx file that is created when you create a new
project. Simply take the lines you want from the ".codestyle" file and
paste it into the .jpx file. For example, I use the following
additional lines when I modify the .jpx files for my projects:
<property category="javaFormatting" name="EventStyle" value="0"/>
<property category="javaFormatting" name="classBraceNextLine" value="1"/>
<property category="javaFormatting" name="methodBraceNextLine"
value="1"/>
<property category="javaFormatting" name="otherBraceNextLine" value="1"/>
which basically does nothing more than drop opening braces to a new line
(I personally have a lot of trouble reading the other style).
If you change these files you should get the results you want. Hope
that helps.
