code formatter behaviour has changed from Luna to Mars [message #1704932]

I'm getting different formatting outputs when defining Enum types with annotations between Luna and Mars. I work with my own code style formatter template, but even with Eclipse default templates (Eclipse built-in or Java Conventions) behaviour is different between Luna and Mars.

Sample code in Luna:

public enum TestFormatterEnum {

@Translate("Element Type One")
ElementTypeOne,

@Translate("Element Type Two")
ElementTypeTwo,

@Translate("Element Type Three")
ElementTypeThree;

}

Same code in Mars after formatting:

public enum TestFormatterEnum {

@Translate("Element Type One") ElementTypeOne,

@Translate("Element Type Two") ElementTypeTwo,

@Translate("Element Type Three") ElementTypeThree;

}

I'm not able to find an option to customize this with the template editor...

Any advice (different than using comment // at the end of line or disable formatter) appreciated.

Cheers,

The setting you need is New Lines -> Annotations -> Insert new line after type annotations.
In Luna the formatter probably didn't remove the line breaks because of the "Never join already wrapped lines" setting. Now this behavior changed - see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=372801 for more details.
