Eclipse 2021-03: JavaScript formatter settings not working
I can't get any JavaScript formatter settings to work (e.g. setting the tab policy to "Spaces only").
- Fresh download of 2021-03 "Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers" for Windows
- New workspace
- New "Static Web Project"
- Changed the JavaScript formatter in both the global eclipse settings as well as the project specific settings
- Default include path
- Editing with "Generic Text Editor"
- Ctrl + Shift + F does format the file, but always with some default settings (with tabs)
Solution
For JavaScript support there are two alternatives,
- Generic Text Editor by Eclipse Wild Web Developer uses a newer approach by embedding and using the JavaScript/TypeScript language sever from Visual Studio Code
- JavaScript Editor by Eclipse WTP JSDT which is missing in the Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers, but is the one to which the shown preferences belong; in contrast, it is completely implemented in Java, exists longer and is still alive
To configure the formatter used in the Generic Text Editor, see Angelo Zerr comment:
