Details

Bracketeer will show you all you need to know about the brackets in your code (highlight brackets, show information about closing brackets, etc...)

This solution will extend the Java (JDT) editor.

Features:

  • Coloring the brackets surrounding the cursor & brackets which have no match.
  • Showing automatic comments on brackets closing: loops, functions, etc...
  • Highly customizable.

Examples:

  • Hints:
  • Have you ever found yourself mesmerized by this block of code:

            break;
          }
        }
      }
    }

    Would life be easier if it looked like this?

            break;
          } // if(a==1)
        } // switch(b)
      } //void foo(a,b,c)
    } // MyClass

  • Surrounding brackets:
  • And what about this?

    if(((a == 1) && (b == 2)) || ((c == 3) && ((d == 4) || (e == 5))))

    Once you put the cursor somewhere in this statement, the brackets surrounding your cursor would be highlighted.

Current supported editors:

  • JDT (java)
  • CDT (C/C++)

Version outdated in Update Site

Submitted by M GS on Wed, 2019-01-23 06:38

Update Site doesn't have the last version (1.3) and 1.2 has unacceptable issue (at github.com/chookapp/Bracketeer/issues/8).

Support for other editors/languages, e.g. SQL?

Submitted by Yury Itskovich on Fri, 2017-05-26 13:16

Just curious if there are plans to support SQL and/or other types of text? This would be really useful for complex queries - surprised that nobody has done this yet, apparently.

Doesn't show the annotations

Submitted by Ali Sajedi on Wed, 2016-06-29 14:52

For me It doesn't show the comments after the ending braces. The "Annotation" option is selected, but is disabled in the preferences.

Thanks

Замечательное решение! Действительно полезное дополнение к eclipse, спасибо Gil Barash! От плагина только положительные впечатления)

1. Комментарии идут на втором слое страницы, тем самым, не затрагивают код - я уж боялся что этот плагин будет модифицировать мой код на лету, ан нет, результат вижу, а файл этих строк не содержит - очень удобно. (к тому же, перерисовка идёт достаточно быстро)
2. Простое и понятное меню управления плагином.
3. Присутствует градация серого тона - скобки не спутать ;)

В общем, 3 года прошло, а проект всё ещё актуален.

This is a must have

Submitted by Edward Greenop on Sat, 2012-03-24 16:15

I am usually skeptical about beta plugins but this one has lots of options and seems to be stable.... and I must say it is a major time saver when you have a project with a bajillion brackets all over the place. Good job.

Nice idea but crashes a lot

Submitted by Mario Marinato on Wed, 2012-01-04 12:08

The plugin is great and offers lots of customization options, but it often crashes when an editor is opened and the cursor is inside a pair of brackets (i.e. from the Search view). If it gets fixed, this plugin will be a must have.

All bugs fixed

Thanks for the review.
I'm happy to say that all known issues (including unhandled exception) have been resolved.
