I must be missing something. I can not seem to find where I setup the preferences for controlling the formatter. I found the formatter preferences for Java, and changed those, thinking maybe thats what it is using for Javascript, but it had no affect. I also tried the spke plugin which does have javascript formatter preferences, but it appears the servoy formatter always runs.

How does one change the formatter preferences?

Unfortunately in servoy 4.x, there are no preferences to set that influence how your code is formatted.

In the next version of Servoy this will change.
