             Summary: Modify codestyle formatter to allow turning off the formatter
                 Key: ACCUMULO-957
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-957
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
            Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: 1.5.0


The setting, "org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.use_on_off_tags" should be set to value "true" in the codestyle xml file for Eclipse.

This enables overriding the formatter for specific blocks where the automatic formatter doesn't produce easy to read code. This should be used sparingly, so it doesn't allow constant circumvention of established standards.

{noformat}
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.use_on_off_tags" value="true"/>
{noformat}

allows

{code:java}
  /* @formatter:off */
    int a=1, // formatter
        b=2, // is
        c=3, // off
        d=4; // for now
  /* @formatter:on */
{code}

The above is not a good example, but it demonstrates what this ticket is about. It would require users to update their codestyle settings in Eclipse.
