Code formatting plugin

Has no one developed a code formatting plugin for Servoy?

In multi-developer environments, every developer writes code slightly differently. Some don’t worry about indenting their code neatly, or leaving blank lines before/after conditional structure statements, etc (okay, I admit it, that would be me).

Surprisingly, the Servoy Editor has no built in code formatting capability. Most other editors do, or at least offer plugins (add-ins) that offer this functionality. Even most database query tools offer code formatting options to properly format your SQL statements (capitalize keywords, each Select item on a separate line, etc.).

Having seen some code examples now from others, and having worked with the Servoy editor a little, I have to conclude that too many of us are spending way too much time manually formating our code, rather than just writing the code and letting some plugin (or the editor itself) clean it up properly for us based on defined rules.

Seems to me that a code formatting tool would be rather useful in the Servoy environment. If you want to see one done right for the VB/.NET environment, check here (although this does way more than just formatting code):

I am pretty sure this is solved/will be solved when Servoy 4.0 arrives.

It will be based on the Eclipse RCP.

From that moment on either Servoy, or we when Servoy does not do it, has much more power at hand to create such formatting tool.

At the moment it is not easy, if not impossible, for 3rd party developers to enhance the editor.
