9.2. Integration

Shows how the Plug-in is integrated into the JDeveloper IDE.

9.2.1. Navigator context menu

The software adds a new menu item into the context popup menu of the Navigator:

Format [Workspace|Project]
By selecting the "Format" menu item, all Java sources of the selected node are formatted according to the current Jalopy preferences.
The item appears in the popup menu if the user clicks the right mouse button on a Java source node or any other parent node that may contain Java sources (such as Workspace, Project, Directory, EJB or BC4J nodes).

9.2.2. Java editor context menu

The software adds a new menu item into the context popup menu of Java code editors:

Format
By selecting the "Format" menu item, the contents of the active code editor view are formatted according to the current Jalopy preferences.

9.2.3. Preferences dialog

The Jalopy preferences are integrated into the preferences dialog of JDeveloper 9i which is reachable through the Tools->Preferences... menu. Each Jalopy preferences page is added as a subentry to the main Jalopy preferences entry.

Jalopy preferences are stored in the $HOME/.jalopy directory. This is in contrast to other JDeveloper preferences which are stored within the IDE configuration files. It is intentional in order to allow reuse of Jalopy preferences between different IDEs. Note that in this release, Jalopy preferences are stored whenever the user leaves a page. If the user moves to another settings page, all settings are stored to disk even if the user chooses to cancel the preferences dialog later on.
