Any JBuilder gurus here?

I have two gripes with JBuilder, which is otherwise an awesome IDE.

The first is when you have files open it has tabs on top, but these tabs are sorted alphabetically. I'd much rather they were stored in the order I opened them. Anyway to change that?

The other is that when it autoformats, it breaks up lines on commas or plus signs (concatenation) when I'd rather they stay on one line.

for example I might have a line like:

SomeClass.SomeStaticMethod("blah blah blah" + SomeVariable.toString() + "more blah");

and when it autoformats it might break it up like:

SomeClass.SomeStaticMethod("blah blah blah" +
SomeVariable.toString() +
"more blah");

with some tabs in there on the new lines (what is the
Code:
 equivalent tag for anandtech's forum?)

The first problem is easy to fix (in JBuilder 2005), click Tools->prefs. Then select global options, under Browser click `Content Pane`. Select your choise under 'Insertions'

Sorry, I couldn't find anything to help you with the not breaking long lines....

There isn't a
Code:
 equivalent tag at AT unfortunately. But you can attach code by clickinng on the button at the bottom of the post window... it adds the code at the end of your post in a textfield, preserving whitespace.
