Description of Classes:
----------------------
com.ibm.cf.CFDriver - An example of how to use a CodeFormatter
bean. The
CFDriver is a stand-alone tool that will instantiate
a CodeFormatter bean, configure it according to your
command-line arguments, and invoke the formatting.
Since the default source of input is stdin, and the
default target for output is stdout, a CFDriver can
also be used as a filter. It basically exposes all
the properties of a CodeFormatter bean as command-line
arguments.
com.ibm.cf.CodeFormatter - See description at top of file.
com.ibm.cf.IndentWriter - Used internally by CodeFormatter.
To Run as a Stand-Alone Application:
-----------------------------------
Usage:
java com.ibm.cf.CFDriver [args]
args:
[-in
fileName] default: <STDIN>
[-out fileName]
default: <STDOUT>
[-maxLine length]
default: 74
[-step
size] default: 2
[-delim
group] default: (+
[-sdelim
group] default: ,
Explanation of [args] (see the apidocs for more info)
-----------------------------------------------------
-in ->
The name of the file to read from.
-out -> The name of the file to write the formatted code to.
-maxLine -> The (desired) maximum line length of the formatted code.
-step ->
IndentationStep: The number of space characters to indent
lines (when appropriate).
-delim ->
Delimiters: When a CodeFormatter encounters one of these
characters at or past the maximum line length, it will end
the line, and start the next line with the delimiter.
-sdelim -> StickyDelimiters:
When a CodeFormatter encounters one of
these characters at or past the maximum line length, it
will print the StickyDelimiter on the current line, and
then end the line.
To Use as a Bean
----------------
To create and use a CodeFormatter, you simply instantiate a new
CodeFormatter
bean, and invoke formatCode(Reader source, Writer target) with
appropriate
arguments. View the API docs for descriptions of the various properties
of
the bean.
Some Hints
----------
Setting the maximum line length to a very large number, and the
IndentationStep
to 0, will result in a file having all its indentation removed,
and no lines
will be word-wrapped.
