Description

What happened?

I build the eclipse plugin and moved the jar to the proper location to the dropins folder but I cannot find a way to activate the plugin or do perform any code formatting like in IntelliJ. In eclipse I only see the default code format settings Eclipse Build-in etc. . What am I missing?

What did you want to happen?

Palantir-Java-Format should be activated and used globally so that it also will be used on save actions etc.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Eclipse plugin setup described: build the plugin, place its jar in the dropins folder, and inspect Eclipse's formatter settings. Determine how Palantir-Java-Format is activated and applied to global formatting and save actions; done means those workflows use the formatter rather than Eclipse's built-in settings.
