For each method, I want to add a space between the method name and the right curly bracket. For example,
public void setName(String name) {
}
I want a space between ) and {. Is it possible to automatically set this in Eclipse or somewhere? It's annoying to add this space every time.
in eclipse menu-->Windows-->preferences, search for the formatter, then edit then set the checkbox: insert space before opening brace
Default code style will add space where you want it, and it can be autoformatted on every save:
Window->Preferences->Java->Editor->SaveActions: check "Format source code"
In case you want to change some of the default styles, you can do so if you navigate to formatter and edit active profile there:
See the eclipse manual:
They're generally called "coding templates" for future reference in any IDE.
There are various coding templates you can use that will change the formatting of your code to the specified specifications. But even without a custom template, the default template adds the space, you just have to auto-format your code.
On Windows : Ctrl + Shift + F
On Mac : ⌘ + ⇧ + F
It will format your code and automatically add the space.
