Can Eclipse parse and use emacs-style meta information in source code?
- by ataylor
In emacs, it is possible to start a file off with a line this:
/* -*- mode: java; c-basic-offset: 4; indent-tabs-mode: nil -*- */
This instructs emacs to use 4 spaces for indentation. I like the idea of storing this coding style meta-information directly and explicitly in the source code. Are there any options for doing this in other IDEs? Does eclipse in particular have the ability to configure itself from a line in the emacs format or something equivalent?
