Description Ian Brown CLA 2005-11-05 10:16:56 EST 
The code formatter continues to be an excellent feature of Eclipse, but there 
is one aspect that offends my sensibilities...

Binary expressions wrap and place the operator at the start of the next line. 
I'd much prefer the operators at the end of the previous line, for example:

Eclipse 3.2 formatter now gives me this (3.1 did, too):
      int sum = 100 + 200 + 300
                + 400 + 500 + 600
                + 700 + 800;

But I would prefer:
      int sum = 100 + 200 + 300 +
                400 + 500 + 600 +
                700 + 800;

This is when set to "wrap when necessary" and "column indent". I might choose 
different options, but the key idea is that the operator should (IMHO) be at 
the end of the line, not the start

Are you sure this is a dup of 90238?

That appears to be talking about Eclipse breaking at whatever point it decides 
to to match the max-linelength, whereas my issue is that when it decides to 
wrap, it wraps before the operator, not after it

If I have
int a = 100 + 200 + 300 + 400;

there is no line-length I could specify to make it produce
int a = 100 + 200 + 
        300 + 400;

It will always come up with
int a = 100 + 200 
        + 300 + 400;

even if that leaves enough whitespace after '200' to put the '+' on the same 
line.

Your assessment that it is a dup is on much better info than I have, so I 
trust your choice - I just wanted to make sure :)

I missed the right bug id. Reopen to close as dup of bug 79068.
