Description
I have a format xml specified in Java > Format > Settings: Url. When I run the command "Open Java Formatter Settings" my file is opened. No settings in the file are respected, however. Consider just this setting:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<profiles version="12">
<profile kind="CodeFormatterProfile" name="BradsProfile" version="12">
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_block" value="next_line"/>
</profile>
</profiles>
In the editor after typing 'if' followed by 2 tabs, I end up with this:
if (condition:var(boolean)) {
}
I don't see any errors in "Language Support for Java."
Environment
- Operating System: Windows 10
- JDK version: 11.0.14.101
- Visual Studio Code version: 1.71.0
- Java extension version: 1.10.0
Steps To Reproduce
- Configure formatter file with contents as above
- Type if statement as above
Can be as simple as a single .java file
Current Result
if (condition:var(boolean)) {
}
Expected Result
if (condition:var(boolean))
{
}

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in a single .java file with the supplied formatter XML and the Java extension settings shown. Trace how the formatter file is loaded and applied when the if-statement snippet is expanded. Done means the configured next_line brace position is respected and the supplied reproduction no longer produces the current layout.
