Integrate FormatCode Into JCreator

Format Source Code within JCreator

The following instructions allow you to format Java source code files in JCreator Java IDE using FormatCode command line tool. We used a free trial version of JCreator Pro Version 4.00.026, so if you use an older or even a newer version then several screenshots or menu items may differ from our description.

2. Click the "Tools" tree item, then click "New" -> "Program" to select FormatCode.exe program.
