Ah, I see.  It's not controlling the code reformatter,
it's controlling the code *generator.*

Well, I found the docs on the home page that describe
the pretty.settings file format.  For a JBuilder install,
I'm guessing this file ends up in the jbuilder/lib/ext
directory, correct?

We have all of our files formatted using a JIndent
style sheet.  I need to mimic this as closely as possible.
If it deviates too much, then we get massive diffs when
we check in to source control, which is bad.  Another
option is to just use JRefactory's pretty print instead
of JIndent, but I'd need to sell that idea to the team.

Has anyone compared JRefactory's pretty print settings
to JIndent's and generated a mapping?

I'll study the pretty.settings file more closely and see
if I have any specific formatting questions.

Thanks for the reply!
