Options: Import

.java file options

If the "Import only if source has changed" option is selected, when any .java source file is imported, its contents will be compared against the source in the workspace. If the source is the same, the file will not be supported and no new type editions will be created. If the "Ignore whitespace differences" option is enabled, the source comparison will ignore any whitespace differences when doing this comparison. This will filter out simple reformatting changes or line end differences, etc.

Format method source

If the "Format method source" option is selected, then the import wizard formats the source of each method as it is imported.

Note that VA Assist also allows you to define your own custom code formatter and use that one rather than the default VA Java code formatter.

Change method indentation

If the "Change method indentation" option is selected, then for each method, the import wizard determines the line in the method with the smallest indentation, strips that indentation amount from each line in the method, and then adds the indentation specified.

Convert indentation spaces to tabs

If the "Convert indentation spaces to tabs" option is selected, then for each method imported, any leading whitespace for each line is converted to tabs.

Trim trailing blanks

If the "Trim trailing blanks" option is selected, then for each method imported, any trailing whitespace is removed.

Remember method line numbers

If the "Remember line numbers" option is selected, then the system will remember the starting line numbers of each method. This is important, if you are interested in using the Goto Line Number feature provided by VA Assist. Recording the line numbers does take time and can cause the import process to execute two or three times slower than normal. If that is a concern, you might want to consider turning this option off.

Import sets

Import Sets may be imported, exported, deleted and reported on with these options.
