Any one know of a way, in JBuilder3.5, to beautify code? I use Slick Edit at home which has a nice beatuifier, but here at work, it's all JBuilder.

Oh, it't not my code I want to beatuify. I think I write really 'pretty' code - it's everyone else! Hmmm...ok maybe it's me, but it think 6 space indentions are a bit much...

AJ and Jeroen
I'd like to get hold of a good code formatter if only to use for the cattle drive assignments. They're really finicky about their code format.
I've also found code formatters handy in other languages when generating code automatically. If you generate any serious amount of code programmatically then you're crazy to try formatting it by hand.
Also, if you write code for different organisations with different standards then you save yourself heaps of time if you can format it automatically.
I tried downloading JIndent but about the only time their server was available, the zip I downloaded was corrupt. I'll take a look at SlickEdit.

If I'm not mistaken, together whiteboard has a beautifier as well. I've been using the trial version of the full program for that.
But VSlickEdit works great too. (Also a 30 day trial!)
 
With a little knowledge, a cast iron skillet is non-stick and lasts a lifetime.
