.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.
