Problems adjusting the code formatter [message #242748]

Hi,

I have a few issues with the code formatter that I don't know how to
resolve. So I'm hoping someone here can help. Here goes:

- How do I keep my function calls from being split on two lines? I'm
pretty sure I saw something like this somewhere, but I can't remember
where I saw it. Basically, I want my calls to look like this:

Foo foo =
bar.doSomething(arg1, arg2, arg3);

instead of

Foo foo = bar
.doSomething(arg1, arg2, arg3);

if the line is too long.

- Is it possible to have the IDE warn me with an annotation if a line is
too long in a file? Or do I have to use something like checkstyle for that?

Those are the ones I've seen so far.

Thanks,

L

Ah! Here's another one. When argument lists or parameters lists of method
definitions/calls are too long, Eclipse will sometimes do this:

foo.methodCall(arg1, new
Bar(), arg3, arg4);

I wand separation to occur after a comma, i.e. I want one parameter or
argument to be on the same line. So instead, I'd like:

foo.methodCall(arg1,
new Bar(), arg3,
arg4);

Is this possible?

Another one: can you do batch-formatting of the code? I'd like to select
all the files in a package and indent them all in one fell swoop.

Thanks,

L
