Is there a way for NetBeans to automatically create brackets in a separate line?

Question

When I create a new class for instance, I get this:

/*
 * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
 * and open the template in the editor.
 */

package helloworld;

/**
 *
 * @author Sergio
 */
public class WordManipulations{        
}

I hate it when brackets are placed this way. Is there a way to make it create things like this:

/*
 * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
 * and open the template in the editor.
 */

package helloworld;

/**
 *
 * @author Sergio
 */
public class WordManipulations 
{

}

Answer 1

Simply follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Tools -> Options -> Editor
2. Navigate to Editor -> Formatting
3. Select the following
   • Language: Java
   • Category: Braces
4. In "Class Declaration, Method Declaration, etc."
   • Braces Placement: New Line

Answer 2

Also there's the JIndent plugin.

Answer 3

In Netbeans go to Tools > Options. Then select the Formatting tab and select Java under the language drop down.

There are now several options to change the formatting the way you like it.
