Bug 49243 New code formatter: missing feature
The new code formatter seems to do everything and cater to all tastes. However, it still does not cover one aspect of how I format code. I like to do for-s like this: for (int i=1 ; i<10 ; i++) {} (note spaces surrounding ;-s). However, I do NOT want a space before ;-s anywhere else (ideology: in other places ; is a terminator, in the for it is a separator). The reason I can't do this is that the "space before ;" has been factored out to the level of control statements and cannot be set specifically for the for statement.

final Hashtable actualOptions= JavaCore.getOptions();
		final Map profileOptions= profile.getSettings();
		
		boolean hasChanges= false;
		
		for (final Iterator keyIter = fCoreKeys.iterator(); keyIter.hasNext(); ) {
			final String key= (String) keyIter.next();
			final String oldVal= (String) actualOptions.get(key);
			final String val= (String) profileOptions.get(key);
			if (!val.equals(oldVal)) {
				hasChanges= true;
				actualOptions.put(key, val);
			}
		}
		
		if (hasChanges) {
			JavaCore.setOptions(actualOptions);
		}
		
		new CommentFormattingContext().mapToStore(profile.getSettings(), getUIPreferenceStore());
		
		final String oldProfile= getUIPreferenceStore().getString(PROFILE_KEY);
		if (!profile.getID().equals(oldProfile)) {
			getUIPreferenceStore().setValue(PROFILE_KEY, profile.getID());
		}
