Title: Planning to implement Auto correct/formatting java code

Hi,

  I am currently working on a plugin to implement auto correction/formatting of java code in JavaEditor (like VB does). I need some inputs on how to implement. My understand I need to do the following

1.      Add key listeners to JavaEditor
2.      Get the current line when the user leaves the line
3.      get the AST for the line
4.      apply some rule and format the line accordinly
5.      put the string back

  If this won’t work or if there is a better way kindly help me.

Regards

Thiru
