Does anyone know how to get a ‘pretty print’ from Eclipse? I remember using Emacs several years back, and it had an option to print code with line numbers, page headers/footers, page numbers, etc. However, Eclipse doesn’t seem to do anything other than just dump the code to the page.

If anyone could cook up a plugin, or add this to the MyEclispe package, that would be an awesome feature. If it’s there, and I am just an idiot and can’t find it, please let me know too.

Thanks!

Enscript is a nice pretty print program that can print source code with lines and syntax highlighting. I know enscript is easy to use on unix. I’m sure there is a windows version but I have never used it. Enscript is a command line program but you should be able to setup a command line program to run as an new “External Tools” launcher.

Looking at those options, it seems sort of difficult. Are there any plans to incorporate this type of functionality directly into MyEclipse? I can almost guarantee you that you’d get a surge of subscriptions if you implement this and advertise it.

We have been trying for over 2 years to get this functionality into Eclipse itself. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=19602 for an open bug concerning this, and someone submitted a quick and dirty patch. But it doesnt work with code folding.
