Auto formatting issue [message #44820] Fri, 23 May 2003 04:08 Go to next message

I have been making use of the auto format feature in the Eclipse editor
to clean up some bad code that I inherited and have noticed a rather
annoying problem. If you have either of the following two situations:

Example.passString("string" + stringVar + "another string");
or
Object.method(param1, param2, param3);

Eclipse always wants to format them like this:

Example.passString(
"string" +
stringVar +
"another string");

and

Object.method(
param1,
param2,
param3);

Even though the entire method call will fit within the 80 character
boundary that I have configured. Does anyone know of a way to fix this
or is this a bug with the formatter that should be logged?

Any thoughts?

Changing that value seems to work as long as it does not have to break
up the line. As soon as it does break it up, it breaks it up "too much"
as in the example above.

There is no way to specify what you consider "too much". You should file a
feature request.
