Class CodeStylePreferences

java.lang.Object
  org.netbeans.modules.editor.indent.spi.CodeStylePreferences

public final class CodeStylePreferences
extends Object

Provides access to formatting settings for a document or file. The formatting settings can either be stored globally in the IDE or they can be stored in a project owning the document. The settings are provided in form of a java.util.prefs.Prefernces instance.

Typical usecase: This class is typically called from an implementation of IndentTask or ReformatTask, which needs to know formatting setting in order to do its job. The implementation is given a context object with a javax.swing.text.Document instance where the formatting is taking place. The implementation should call get(javax.swing.text.Document) and getPreferences() in order to get Preferences with formatting settings.

The infrastructure will take care of providing the right Preferences instance from either MimeLookup or a project depending on the formatted document and user's choice. It is important not to cache the Preferences instance, because a different instance may be provided in the future if a user changes his mind in using global or per-project formatting settings.
