Dowloading Findent and Jfindent

Findent is hosted on https://sourceforge.net/projects/findent/files, or https://sourceforge.net/projects/findent, all files and information are there. Navigate to Code -> Download Snapshot to get the latest version, which may not be in good order.

The sofware is available here too. The current version is 3.1.7 .

Note: the Chromium browser translates the character '~' into '_' in the name of a downloaded file.

Findent on Debian and Ubuntu
