Created attachment 126557 [details] Formatted fields with annotations Looking at the settings of formatting/java/blank lines there is no way to configure "before annotated field". The reason one would want that option is to configure fields without annotations without lank lines: private int a; private int b; private int c; But when annotations are used you may want to configure a blank line before the first annotation. Otherwise you end up like in my real world example (using JPA) i have attached - that snippet of a class was formatted with default Java settings. (For obfuscation every field and every column is named "a").
