    I want to format my Javascript within Eclipse.  Is Javascript code formatting provided within this plug-in?  If not, is that because you use some other tool for that purpose?  Which one?

    Thanks,
    Chip

      Code formatting has not been implemented.

      Yes, it would be nice.
      [Personally, I use the tab key a lot. Just be glad you're not using LISP]

      Enhancement requests should be posted as RFE's.

      (N.B. I don't expect any major changes before the end of August, I'm moving in a few weeks and then I'm on vacation for the next two...)

      I finally purchased a copy of Trita (www.trita.com) for $35 to format my Javascript.  It does a reasonably good job and can be "integrated" with Eclipse using the External Tools mechanism (instructions are provided).

      For the terminally curious, I wanted a JS formatting tool in order to normalize the formatting between two versions of the same file prior to doing a diff-merge.
