Tip: #700 - Indenting for Java

Created: April 14, 2004 23:58 Complexity: basic Author: dunamin--AT--sbcglobal.net Version: 5.7 Karma: 6/9 Imported from: Tip#700

I needed to do a few tweaks to .vimrc to get Java code looking smooth in vim and I'm passing the joy. This is probably good for at least 80% of Java programmers. Hope this helps my fellow Java/Vim peeps.

My .vimrc file:

"Take care of indents for Java. 
set autoindent 
set si 
set shiftwidth=4 
"Java anonymous classes. Sometimes, you have to use them. 
set cinoptions+=j1

Comments

Also you can use let java_comment_strings=1 let java_highlight_java_lang_ids=1

I use these settings too:

let java_mark_braces_in_parens_as_errors=1 
let java_highlight_all=1 
let java_highlight_debug=1 
let java_ignore_javadoc=1 
let java_highlight_java_lang_ids=1 
let java_highlight_functions="style" 
let java_minlines = 150

Also, in cygwin (www.cygwin.com), there's a program called "astyle" which properly indents Java programs, just like cb or indent do for C programs.
