Flex Builder Source Code Formatter Plugin

A colleague recently pointed me towards Flex Formatter – a new (and open source) source code formatter plugin for Flex Builder. The plugin is very easy to use right out of the box and it comes with two commands, Format Selection and Indent Selection. Both commands are accessed by toolbar items. The “Indent” command only affects leading whitespace on lines, while “Format” affects newlines and internal line spacing as well. For those of you who work in organzations where there are strict code formatting policies, there are extensive options that you can set to customize the tool for your work group.
