Options: Code Viewing
Allows the developer to view and edit an entire
class definition in one view. The class definition and all of its fields and methods are
shown just as they would be seen in an exported .java file.
Enable whole class view/editing
Determines whether whole class
view/editing mode is turned on.
Alt key inverts whole class view mode
Allows you to temporarily turn whole class view mode on and off (based upon
the overall setting) when clicking on a class. Note that direct
editing of classes is disabled when this option is enabled.
Use VA Java 3.5-style source view mode
This option is provided to have whole-class-edit mode emulate the full
source view mode provided by VAJ 3.5. In source view mode, all formatting done to the
class is captured. Modifications are captured at the class edition level, so every time
you save your code in source view mode, you will create a new class edition (as happens in
VAJ 3.5's own source view window)..
Use export format settings
Determines whether a class' methods
are formatted
(indented, formatted, ordered, etc.) using the formatting options available on the "VA Assist | Export" options
page.
Insert one blank line between methods
Determines whether a single
blank line should be inserted betwen methods during whole-class-edit mode.
Allow method deletion and replacement
Determines whether methods may
be deleted or replaced during whole-class-edit mode.
Only when N or fewer methods
Allows you to set a cutoff above which whole class view mode will turn off.
This value may be set from 1-999 (zero turns it off).
These options control VA Java
3.5's source view mode.
Enable source view mode
Controls the overall visibility of the source view
mode feature. If the source view mode has been turned off, the "Source" tab will
not appear in any class browser, and any menu options that open the standalone source view
browser will be hidden.
Use export format settings
Determines whether the source that is displayed in VAJ's source view window
is formatted (indented, formatted, ordered, etc.) using the formatting
options available on the "VA Assist | Export"
options page.
Automatically formats any methods that are viewed in the standard
browsers using the formatting options set by the user. It does not create
new editions of any code. This provides a nice way to view any code in the
system using your personal formatting preferences.
This option will cause methods
to be shown flush left even if they are indented relative to their
class.
By default, VA Java will convert
any indentation spaces into tabs (four spaces per tab). Turning this
option off will prevent VA Java from making this conversion.
