Eclipse plugin does not seem to work

[ratondeau]

What happened?

I build the eclipse plugin and moved the jar to the proper location to the dropins folder but I cannot find a way to activate the plugin or do perform any code formatting like in IntelliJ. In eclipse I only see the default code format settings Eclipse Build-in etc. . What am I missing?

What did you want to happen?

Palantir-Java-Format should be activated and used globally so that it also will be used on save actions etc.

Same here.

Eclipse
Version: 2023-06 (4.28.0)
Build id: 20230608-1333

Maybe you looked at the wrong setting? You have to enable the formatter implementation, not change the format settings, which are ignored anyway. This is a bit hard to find.

On the Preferences > Java Code Style > Java > Code Style > Formatter page, there is a little menu "Formatter implemention" for it.

(You can also do it in the project specific settings Java Code Style > Formatter)

What is the correct configuration in the formatter page? Despite selecting palantin-java-format as the formatter implementation, it seems active profile still overrides the formatting somewhat.

maybe not the right issue, but get errors on Save, from the formatter...

com.palantir.javaformat.java.java14.Java14InputAstVisitor cannot be found by palantir-java-format-eclipse-plugin_2.38.0. See the error log for details

Eclipse with Java 17, have set all the JVM args i've seen in other threads that supposedly fix this. I have Google formatter plugin working, but the palantir plugin still fails.
