But I think it can. Both Eclipse and IntelliJ also have extensively customizable formatting rules so you can generally get it to do what you want rather than what someone else wants. The formatting rules can be project specific so you can abide by project requirements and still use your preferred formatting for your own projects. Maybe this is what Adam is talking about. The rules are used when you try to format an entire file (which I almost never do because it munges the places where I make exceptions to the formatting rules) and also when it completes structures that you type. Overall I find the behavior more useful than annoying once a) It's configured the way I like, and b) I got used to it. Peter
