Bugs fixed

  • Eclipse plug-in: Eclipse code formatter options "Align items in columns" (e.g. for fields or variables) were not respected when option "Use Eclipse code formatter" is enabled in Preferences.
  • IntelliJ IDEA plug-in: Fixed occasional NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.awt.Font.getFamily()" because "font" is null at IDE startup.
  • IntelliJ IDEA plug-in: Fixed occasional IllegalStateException: You must not register toolwindow programmatically so early at IDE startup.

Other Changes
