.editorconfig configuration is not taken into account when formatting code about ec4e

[angelozerr]

Which editor do you use it?

If it's with JDT Java Editor, it will not work, ec4e is working only with Generic Editor.

That's right. I'm using the Java editor. Is it planed to support it?

[nagromc]

OK I missed the main page which states

...and works only with GenericEditor

Well, I didn't realize that wouldn't work with the Java editor. Sorry for the mess.

No it's not possible to support it because of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=457046#c14

As JDT re-read indent style, etc from the preferences (project or workspace), you can use my strategy which search value from a custom IPreferenceStore. The only solution to work with JDT is to update project or workspace preferences each time the editor takes the focus like https://github.com/ncjones/editorconfig-eclipse does.

I found not this solution very elegant, that's why I have created ec4e which works only with Generic Editor because Generic Editor doesn't re-read properties of indent, etc from a preferences but from a preference store (default behaviour of TextEditor).

I hope one day JDT will switch to Generic Editor and after we could benefit with ec4e.
