Overview of Editor Indentation module

Editor Indentation module defines EditorIndentationAPI providing indentation and reformatting services to the clients.
It also contains SPI allowing the modules to register language-specific indenters and formatters into MimeLookup through XML layers.

Use Cases

API Usecases

Fix indentation of a single or multiple lines of a document.

Altghough there are formatting actions already there may be clients wishing to explicitly fix indentation of e.g. a newly inserted code into a Swing document.

The same code is used after inserting a newline into a document.

The Indent is an entry point for performing reindentation. The following code should be used by clients: 
Indent indent = Indent.get(doc);
indent.lock();
try {
    doc.atomicLock();
    try {
        indent.reindent(startOffset, endOffset);
    } finally {
        doc.atomicUnlock();
    }
} finally {
    indent.unlock();
}

Code beautification of a selected area of a document.

Code beautification should not only fix line indentation but it may also perform extra changes to code according to formatting rules. For example add newlines or additional whitespace or add/remove extra braces etc.

The Reformat class should be used: 
Reformat reformat = Reformat.get(doc);
reformat.lock();
try {
    doc.atomicLock();
    try {
        reformat.reformat(startOffset, endOffset);
    } finally {
        doc.atomicUnlock();
    }
} finally {
    reformat.unlock();
}
