Plugin setup
After installing the ECF plugin you need to set it to use the Eclipse code styles file of the ImageJ project:
- Download eclipse-preferences.epf
- Open Eclipse and follow these steps to import an
.epf
file - Open Window > Preferences > Java > Code Style > Formatter
- Set Active Profile to ImageJ
- Click Export All... and save the XML file
- Open IntelliJ
- Open your project
- Open File > Settings > Eclipse Code Formatter
- Check the Use the Eclipse code formatter radio button
- Set Eclipse Java Formatter config file to the XML file you just created
- Set Java formatter profile to ImageJ
- Check Optimize Imports

com;io;java;javax;net;org;
NB You can skip the first five steps if you use this XML file. Note that it is old and possibly out of date.
