5.6.1.10.1 Variable/Field Declarations

Align variable/field declarations

Controls whether variable/field declarations are aligned within one source code chunk or not.

Align declarations:

				private int    field1 = 10;             

				private int    field2 = 0x0100010101;   

				private String message = "some text here...";

Do not align declarations:

				private int field1 = 10;                

				private int field2 = 0x0100010101;      

				private String message = "some text here...";

Align declarations exceeding max. line length

Controls whether variable/field delcarations which exceed maximal line length are aligned with other declarations or not.

Align exceeding declarations:

				private int     field1 = 10;                                          |

				private int     field2 = 0x0100010101;                                |

				private String  message = "some text here...";                        |

				private MyClass myObject = new MyObject(parameterOne, parameterTwo,   |

				                                        paremeterThree);              |

Even if declaration of field myObject exceeds the specified maximal line length it will be aligned.

Do not align exceeding assignments:

				private int    field1 = 10;                                           |

				private int    field2 = 0x0100010101;                                 |

				private String message = "some text here...";                         |

				private MyClass myObject = new MyObject(parameterOne, parameterTwo,   |

				                                        paremeterThree);              |

Declaration of field myObject exceeds the specified maximal line length. Therefore it will be not aligned.

Indent variable/field declarations by tab stops

Controls whether variable/field declaration are indented by spaces or tabulator stops.

Indent declarations by tabulator stops:

				private int>--->field1 = 10;            

				private int>--->field2 = 0x0100010101;  

				private String->message = "some text here...";

Do not indent declarations by tabulator stops, rather use white spaces:

				private·int····field1·=·10;             

				private·int····field2·=·0x0100010101;   

				private·String·message·=·"some·text·here...";
