15 Feb 2007 - Version 5.3

Fix intermittent spacing problem with "new" expressions, e.g.

String[] args = new String[n];

would sometimes lose the space between "new" and "String" after being tabified.

Handle leading annotations in variable and method declarations, so that modifiers are handled properly, e.g.

@CARD32 public final int target, internalFormat; @INT32 protected int x, y, width; @CARD32 public final int format, type;

can be tabified as follows:

@CARD32 public final int target, internalFormat; @INT32 protected int x, y, width; @CARD32 public final int format, type;

23 Sep 2006 - Version 5.2

Fix parsing bug where "new int[20]" and "new String[20]" did not recognize "int" (a primitive type) as an alignable item. Result was that "String[20]" was aligned after "int[20]" instead of below "int[20]".

Fix parsing bug which caused annotations to be discarded.

Split up configuration panels so that the sample text was more tailored for individual sections and the effect of settings changes can be more easily seen.

The new 4.0 version has many bug fixes and other improvements. It does a much better job at handling nested expressions and method calls. It also has several new features, such as the ability to right justify integer literals, e.g.
public static final int ONE = 1; public static final int TWO = 2; public static final int TEN = 10; public static final int ELEVEN = 11;
It can align method declaration and method call parameters, even with multiple parameters per line:
public ExpressionListParser(TokenColumn openParend, ColumnChoice params, TokenColumn closeParend, CodeStyleSettings codeStyleSettings, TabifierSettings settings, NestedParser parser, int nestingLevel)

And its expression alignment is now recursive, e.g.

It is capable of reformatting "if" statements as follows:

The plugin ignores lines in the selection that are not Java field or variable declarations, or assignment statements. Therefore it is safe to select as much text as you want, even the entire file. The plugin operates much as the IDEA Code Layout tool does.
Version 3.0 plugin handles method calls and if statements. Method call parameters may be aligned. Calls to different methods may be grouped separately or together. If statement expressions are alignable, as well as the then- and else-statements.

New Version 3.0 features are indicated by bold sections. It is capable of reformatting "if" statements as follows:
if (param1 == p3 && j > 5 ) p3 = 7; .... if (param1 == p3) p3 = 6; else if (param1 == 2 ) method1(param1, true, 3); else param1 = 7;
Method calls can be reformatted to align parentheses, commas, or parameters:
align_params = (ColumnSetting ) find(ALIGN_PARAMS ); align_semicolon = (ColumnSetting ) find(ALIGN_SEMICOLON ); align_semicolon_with_comma = (BooleanSetting) find(ALIGN_SEMICOLON_WITH_COMMA);

Typecast parentheses and types as well as many other expression components can also be aligned.

Other Information
The plugin source contains a JUnit test suite. I wanted to do testing without having a second copy of IDEA running, and without the need to stop and restart IDEA for every version. I created a mock Program Structure Information (Psi) package that implements all the Psi interfaces but very little functionality -- just the basics of tree structure (parent/children/sibling nodes), text, and a few fields. I also wrote a class that will dump the Psi tree of a Java file as a new class, which when compiled and invoked recreates the Psi tree using mock objects.

13 Jun 2003 - Version 2.8

bug fix: new functionality of version 2.7 did not handle groups of assignments where some were prefixed and others not, e.g.

int i = 1; if (args.length == 0) i = 0; else i = 1;
was incorrectly tabified to
int i = 1; if (args.length == 0) i = 0; else i = 1;
Now lines that have prefixes are aligned independently of those that don't, and tabifier produces output like the first example.

becomes
if (args.length == 0) i = 0; else i = 1;

12 Jun 2003 - Version 2.7

bug fix: when tabifying a declaration with a preceding comment, but beginning the selection after the comment, tabifier skipped the statement -- but does no longer. For example, if only the three lines after the comment are selected in the following:

/** * experiment with modifiers. */ public static final String PARAM_MAIN_PANEL = "mainpanel"; public static final String VALUE_MAIN_PANEL_TABS = "tabs"; public static final String DEFAULT_MAIN_PANEL = VALUE_MAIN_PANEL_TABS;
tabifier now properly aligns them all as follows:

22 May 2003 - Version 2.4 - bug fix:

multiline field or variable declarations (int a=1, \n b=2, \n c=3;) could be incorrectly aligned as if "b" and "c" were assignment expressions. If the grouping option was set to format adjacent declarations and assignments independently, then "b" and "c" would be aligned relative to each other but not to "a". Now treat "b" and "c" as declarations. This forces "a", "b" and "c" to be formatted together in all cases.

The Reformat plugin chains to Tabifier after IDEA's Reformat Code... tool runs, so tabification happens automatically on the same file (or same selection of file) as was reformatted by the code layout tool. That is, Ctrl-Alt-L or Ctrl-Alt-R invoke tabifier after IDEA is done reformatting code. Requires Reformat Plugin version 0.2 or later.

renamed the package to com.wrq.tabifier to avoid conflict with Jordan's Selector plugin, which contains an older version of the tabifier. That plugin may ultimately go away, since IntelliJ is implementing block selection capability in Aurora.

Whether tabs or spaces are actually emitted during reformatting depends on the project settings for "Use Tabs" and "Smart Tabs." If "Use Tabs" is unchecked, all reformatting is done with spaces, even though the appearance is as if tab characters were used. If "Use Tabs" is checked, tabs are used wherever possible, unless "Smart Tabs" is also checked, in which case only the block indentation is achieved using tabs, and the remainder is done using spaces.

IDEA likes to declare them with single spaces, like this:
int v1; // loop variable String s2; // second string public static PrintWriter p; private static boolean debugging = true; // initialize private static OutputStream outputstream = null; outputstream = new FileOutputStream(f, true); p = new DebuggingPrintWriter(outputstream, true);

The tabifier plugin automatically reformats the text into the first version, or any variation of it you choose.

Using the Tabifier plugin

The plugin operates on selected lines of text. Put the caret anywhere in the first line to be re-aligned and then select to anywhere in the last line to be re-aligned. If no selection is made, the plugin selects the entire current line; otherwise the plugin extends the selection to the beginning of the first line and the end of the last line.
The plugin ignores lines in the selection that are not Java field or variable declarations, or assignment statements. Therefore it is safe to select as much text as you want, even the entire file. The plugin operates much as the IDEA Code Layout tool does.
The plugin adds itself to the editor popup menu, and assigns itself a shortcut of Ctrl-Shift-Alt-T.

Controlling Alignment

Tabifier plugin settings are accessed via the Project Properties dialog. You may force alignment of any or all of the following syntactic items:

modifiers (only applies to field or variable declarations)

variable type (only applies to field or variable declarations)

variable name (or left-hand side of assignment statement)

operator (usually "=", but may be a multicharacter operator like "+=")

right-hand expression (the initialization expression for fields and variables)

comma or semicolon

trailing comments

For each of these, if alignment is to take place, you can specify how many spaces or tab characters are to be appended to the longest text to reach the next alignment column (tab stop). In the example above, all columns except comma/semicolon were aligned, and spacing was set for each to one space character.
If tabs are specified, the editor setting (IDE Settings...Code Style...Indents and Braces) for tab size is used.

Modifier Reordering and Alignment

If modifier reordering and alignment is specified, modifiers will be reordered according to the Java spec recommendation (as implemented in the java.util.Modifier class) and aligned vertically. Mutually exclusive modifiers, such as public/private/protected, occupy the same column. For example,

static public final int CONSTANT = 0; private static int nextID = 0;

would, with modifier reordering and alignment enabled, appear as:

public static final int CONSTANT = 0; private static int nextID = 0;

If modifier reordering and alignment is disabled, modifiers remain intact. In this case, and with variable types aligned, the example is reformatted as:

static public final int CONSTANT = 0; private static int NextID = 0;

No space/tab specification is permitted for modifiers since modifiers begin immediately at column zero (relative to the indentation of the entire block, of course.)

Controlling Grouping

When multiple lines of text are selected, the tabifier plugin groups them automatically for formatting based on indentation level. For example,

int i = 0; while (i < 10) { int j = i; ... }

the declarations of i and j are tabified independently.
Additional grouping rules are available. Presence of the following may be specified to force a new formatting group:

blank lines

non-blank lines other than declaration or assignment statements

a change from declaration to assignment statements or vice versa

Requirements
This plugin requires IDEA build 655 or later.

Other Information
The plugin source contains a JUnit test suite. I wanted to do testing without having a second copy of IDEA running, and without the need to stop and restart IDEA for every version. I created a mock Program Structure Information (Psi) package that implements all the Psi interfaces but very little functionality -- just the basics of tree structure (parent/children/sibling nodes), text, and a few fields. I also wrote a class that will dump the Psi tree of a Java file as a new class, which when compiled and invoked recreates the Psi tree using mock objects.
If you are developing a plugin that uses Psi information, you may find it useful.

Possible Enhancements

The following list is relative to version 2.0. If any of these appeal to you, please let me know.

Add a "preview" panel similar to that presented on the Code Style dialogs, so that the user can immediately see the results of the indentation choices.

Hook the tabifier plugin onto the Code Layout tool so that it automatically runs after Code Layout.

Add a dialog, similar to Code Layout, to allow reformatting of the entire file, just the selection, or all files in the project.

Add ability to reformat other types of Java constructs.

Please also notify me of any bugs or other suggestions for improvement. Thanks!

2/27/2003 - Version 9 - 1. New version number scheme. 2. DaveKriewall has taken over development and has added new features: "Align modifiers" and "Align trailing // comments". Dave promises more features to come. Thanks Dave!

4/23/2003 - Version 2.0 - major revision. Tabifier now uses program structure information (Psi) to identify text as declaration (field or variable) or assignment statements. Only this text is aligned; other text is left intact. Therefore the entire file may be tabified in a single operation (select all text, tabify). Many additional options for controlling the alignment of text have been added. Modifiers may be reordered and aligned. Alignment may occur at variable type, variable name, assignment operator, right-hand expression, trailing comma/semicolon, and/or trailing comments.

2/27/2003 - Version 1.9 - 1. New version number scheme. 2. DaveKriewall has taken over development and has added new features: "Align modifiers" and "Align trailing // comments". Dave promises more features to come. Thanks Dave!
