I'm having a really difficult time finding a working Java 1.5 beautifier. One that works on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and one that is free, or open source. I've tried: beautyj -- doesn't support 1.5 jacobe -- doesn't support Mac astyle -- doesn't support Mac jindent -- really broken free version I appreciate any help, L-

doesn't the eclipse editor have a built in beautifier? or are you looking for something you can run as a batch command-line tool?

Yes, sorry, I forgot to mention that I want to batch process using a command-line tool.

Can run through Ant, Console, Eclipse, JEdit and used to have one for JBuilder.

Allows you to control down to the finest grained details.

SHIFT-CTRL-F in Eclipse.

Also, you can easily customize and export/import a host of formatting options under Window->Preferences->Java->Code style->Formatter

And you can format whole source trees in the package explorer without individually opening the files (just right-click on a package you want to beautify).
