Settings in .editorconfig are ignored

[parfentjev]

Description

After installing the EditorConfig extension and applying the following configuration via .editorconfig:

root = true

[*]
end_of_line = lf
insert_final_newline = true

[*.{java,html,css,js}]
charset = utf-8
indent_style = space
indent_size = 2

I have noticed that Java code is still being formatted with four spaces instead of the specified two spaces.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install the EditorConfig extension.
2. Apply the provided .editorconfig configuration.
3. Open a Java file.
4. Run the formatter and observe the indentation.

Expected Behavior

Java code should be formatted with two spaces as specified in the .editorconfig file.

Actual Behavior

Java code is formatted with four spaces.

Additional Information

It appears that javavscode does not offer any way to configure how the code is formatted, which is acceptable. However, it would be nice if it did not conflict with other widely used tools like the EditorConfig extension.

1. Our extension also supports custom formatting rules, you can setup by following this wiki.
2. If you wish to you to use any other formatter then you either you can set it up via the settings UI (Settings -> Editor -> Default Formatter) or via the editor using right click and choose Format Document With....

I don’t think the EditorConfig extension acts as a stand-alone formatter. I can’t really use it to format a document:

Here, the java formatter comes from oracle/javavscode. EditorConfig doesn’t appear as a formatter for html or css files either, yet vscode still formats those with two spaces instead of four. I don’t have extensions installed for those file types, so I assume that’s coming from built-in functionality. My knowledge is limited here - I’m just speaking as a user.

I saw that we can export the configuration from NetBeans. However, it would be nice if in the future we could configure some of these parameters directly, without needing to install another IDE.
