Bug 144540

[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_07 ]

In some of the project we're into, requirement is that code in .java
files be sorted like this:

[...]
public class Foo {

	// field declarations
	private String whatever1;
	private String whatever2;
	...

	// getters+setters
	public String getWhatever1()
	{...}

	//public methods
	public StringdoSomething1()
	{...}

	//private (helper) methods
	private void doSomethingElse()
	{...}

	//inner class declarations
	private class SubFoo{
	...
	}
}
[...]

Having a way how to define this to be automatically done by the IDE
via "Source" -> "Format" while editing a .java file would drastically
decrease the time spent on manually editing source codes and moving
code blocks around in those situations.
