;-)
: In any event, I think Dale meant something more like:
: someReallLongeMethodNameWithManyArguments(aReallyLongArgument,
: anotherLongArgument,
: theLastArgument);
: Sometimes I do it as shown above, and other times I do it like this:
: someReallLongeMethodNameWithAlotOfArguments(
: aReallyLongArgument, anotherLongArgument, theLastArgument);
: I haven't settled on a pattern for doing so, but the latter is becoming
: more prevalent in my code because it is immune to changes in the method
: name and parameter name lengths.
Previously my approach was to forget about this - and let the formatter
take care of it for me.
Since starting to use Eclipse I haven't yet found a formatter that
works with it that is at all usable.
Currently my approach is to let my code get into a mess - on the grounds
that *someday* I'll find a decent formatter.
I'm not very happy about this - but it seems the most sensible approach
given the circumstances.
