Have you upgraded to IBM's RAD (Rational Application
Developer) from either WSAD or Eclipse and found that when you copy and paste
your java code from the editor to another application (like Microsoft Word...but
really any other application) that it loses all of its formatting including
font, color, side, etc? I had this problem for over a year and someone on IBM's
Forums helped me solve this mystery.
The problem here was
in a bug with the specific version of Eclipse that IBM based RAD off of. With
that specific version, if you have "folding" enabled then when you
copy and paste your code you will lose all of your formatting. "Folding”
is what allows you to ‘close’ or ‘collapse’ methods,
inner classes, import statements, etc. Once you disable folding, you can copy
and paste code all over the place to my hearts delight and it will retain the
font formatting. To disable folding, go to your Java Editor Preferences (Window
-> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Folding) and uncheck the "Enable
folding when opening a new editor" checkbox.
I wonder if upgrading RAD will fix this. Due to my
bad experiences trying to upgrade RAD though, I think I'll pass.
As always, if you have trouble, please post your comments
on this web page.
