The reasons +for this is detailed in issue + http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=20450 +but essentially the plugin registration to override the +formatProcessor is processed in the alphabetical order of the plugin +names, so the org.eclipse plugin would clobber the com.android.eclipse +plugin. To work around this, the specific registration code was moved +out to a separate plugin, but the formatter itself continues to live +in ADT. |
