Abstract
The quality of identifiers, the coding style and formatting are important aspects that influence program understandings and maintenance. This is confirmed by the presence of several approaches and tools aimed at supporting and improving the source code quality. This paper describes a tool named Smart Formatter that allows programmers to learn coding style rules from existing source code, and apply these rules to the code under development.Keywords
