have i choose the wrong config or is it like the imports just outdated?

@adangel

kindly request your feedback. @oowekyala

plugin support as well:

just need to run apply goal then its good to go, fully applying your convention hardly configured twice but not fully lived twice therefore only one could remain until you ether merge them or go with the working one which is eclipse controlled by spot.

We are still discussing #5875 and, like your other PRs, you do not explain how your change makes things better. So I think you should start by engaging in #5875 and describe a solution that we can agree on before trying to open a PR.

have i choose the wrong config or is it like the imports just outdated?

@adangel

plz try to consider. its still a topic non a improvement but maybe broken config. thats two different kind.

maybe broken config

have you tried to confirm this?

Step by step:

1. install intellij and configure a local dev environment according to https://docs.pmd-code.org/latest/pmd_devdocs_building_intellij.html
2. install eclipse and configure a local dev environment according to https://docs.pmd-code.org/latest/pmd_devdocs_building_eclipse.html
3. compare the code formatter configurations
4. present your findings

done. I did not configure idea, but the maven plugin. Both will refer to some eclipse jar applying the format.

The only issue could be a version diff, but this is very unlikely according to the 7 years its not been updated, just like the config before.

Lets start with real errors and then fix the broken format.

• Fix #5953: [java] PoC: Add rewrite support for errorprone.refasterrules #5956

have you tried to confirm this?

Yes the whole PR is just about this.

See what two different eclipse parsers do with the same config:

• format delta to spotless revelc/formatter-maven-plugin#986
• format delta to spotless revelc/formatter-maven-plugin#986 (comment)

Yes the whole PR is just about this.

the PR is idempotent.

Step by step:

1. install intellij and configure a local dev environment according to https://docs.pmd-code.org/latest/pmd_devdocs_building_intellij.html
2. install eclipse and configure a local dev environment according to https://docs.pmd-code.org/latest/pmd_devdocs_building_eclipse.html
3. compare the code formatter configurations
4. present your findings

This setup is not.

have really tried to config this but again thats why i dont use some crazy gui and spend effort on endless config over and over.

Using the maven plugin is easy. The gui is to high end for me.

4. present your findings

if you want i can make another one with this plugin:

• https://code.revelc.net/formatter-maven-plugin

Assuming you have the IDE ready. Can you (re)format the whole project without any changed? This would be the expectation and the status quo after plugin installation.
