Very nice plugin. A few options that I usually use don't work (brackets=break-closing and unpad=paren), probably due to the old astyle version. Could you consider switching to a newer version?

Very mature formatter that I used, now I can use it in eclipse. Thanks astyleclipse.sourceforge.net and all contributors!

What the (inexisting) documentation on the website doesn't tell you, is that after installing the plugin, you must open Eclipse preferences, go to C++ section --> Code Formatter subsection, and select Astyle Plugin in the Formatters drop-down box. Then and only then will the Format contextual menu option work on your selected code. Otherwise it does nothing. Afterwards you can also go to the Astyle section of the Eclipse Preferences to choose your formatting style, and manage other options. Apart from this extra undocumented step in installing (which is the reason for rating it only at seven), the plugin works great.

easy to install. provides options for standard formatting styles so you don't have to mess with setting things up specifically yourself.

Running on Linux 2.6, SunJSDK1.4.2, the following error is reported: "Plugin net.sourceforge.astyleclipse was unable to load class net.sourceforge.astyleclipse.preferences.AstylePreferencePage" It is completely unusable. Not sure how many platforms are affected. Apparently, some people are seeing some success with it. There was a bug submitted for this back in February on their sourceforge.net project, but it doesn't appear to have been fixed yet.

works great! No documentation yet - need to enable in prefs C++ Code Formatter, then right click in editor and chose Format to use.

A very good and fast indenter for CDT!

Very nice code formatter

very handy, this saves me a lot of switching to command line for formatting
