java(9)

SYNOPSIS

java - Java programming language templates

FILES

hkjava.emf - Java programming language hook definition
java.etf - Java programming language template file

EXTENSIONS

.java, .jav - Java

DESCRIPTION

The java file type templates share much with the c(9) template definitions, utilising the electric 'C' features for automatic layout of text.

General Editing


On creating a new file, a new header is automatically included into the file. time(2m) is by default enabled, allowing the modification time-stamp to be maintained in the header.

Hilighting


The hilighting features allow commands, variables, logical, preprocessor definitions, comments, strings and characters of the language to be differentiated and rendered in different colors.

Auto Layout


The electric C-Mode cmode(2m) performs automatic layout of the text, variables such as c-brace(5) allow the brace position and text formation to be modified.

restyle-region(3) and restyle-buffer(3) are available to reformat (re-layout) selected sections of the buffer, or the whole buffer, respectively.

Comments may be formatted using esc o, which reformats the comments according to the current fill paragraph. If a comment commences with /***... then the comment is automatically formatted to a box.

Folding and Information Hiding


Generic folding is enabled within the Java files. The folds occur about braces {...} located on the left-hand margin. fold-all(3) (un)folds all regions in the file, fold-current(3) (un)folds the current region. Note that folding does not operate on K&R style code, with the trailing open brace.

Working Environment


compile(3) may be invoked to rebuild the source, the user is prompted to save any files.

rcs-file(2) is automatically invoked if an RCS file is detected, the normal check-in/out operations may be performed through the editor.

Short Cuts


The short cut keys used within the buffer are:-

C-c C-c - Comment out the current line.
C-c C-d - Uncomment the current line.
C-c C-e - Comment to the end of the line with stars (*).
A-C-i - Restyle the current region.
esc q - Format a comment.
esc o - Format a comment.
f2 - (un)fold the current region
f3 - (un)fold all regions

NOTES

The hilighting is typically extended using a file myjava.emf
