  - PREFERENCES_defaults
```
static final java.lang.Object[] PREFERENCES_defaults
```
    Default values to use for each preference. (debugging) NOTE: When new formatting options are added that are a subset of a previous option, we need to make sure the user gets the correct value. E.g. option to add a new line before any brace. Now we add an option to add a new line before a switch brace The value of that new option should be the CURRENT option of add a new line before any brace, NOT the default option. To do that, those new options have the negative of the base option index, so 'newline.switch_braces' has as its default value -NEWLINE_BLOCK_BRACES. See SourcePreferences where we get the values. The value for 'newline.switch_braces will be either its own value if it has been changed, OR the default value of newline.block_braces if not changed OR the current value of newline.block_braces if it has been changed. Some defaults have '-1' as their values, so we check for negative values less than -1 to see if the value chains to another value. Keep this in mind when adding new values, especially negative ones.
