I needed to do a few tweaks to vimrc to get Java code looking smooth in Vim.
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
See help on java syntax highlighting file :help java.
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 or UNIX-based systems, there's a program called "astyle" which properly indents Java programs, just like cb or indent do for C programs.
Prefer using :setlocal from a java ftplugin if you do not want to pollute all types of files with Java settings.
