Description Timothy Mowlem CLA 2009-03-24 06:04:01 EDT 
Build ID: 3.5M6

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Set the preference Editors/Text Editors/Print Margin Column to 120
2. Create a source file including javadocs with the javadoc text longer than 120 chars
3. Choose menuitem Source -> Format

I would expect that the reformatting would honour the width that I set in the preference when reformatting. But it clips it to 80 chars regardless.


More information:
Platform is MacOSX 10.5 with the standard SWT build (i.e. not the Cocoa build).
I haven;t tried other builds or platforms but is probably generic.

There are specific formatter preferences for the max line width...

Open a formatter preference page: Java > Code Style > Formatter, edit a new profile, go to the 'Line Wrapping' tab and change the 'Maximum line width' value.

Note that there's also a specific value for comments on the 'Comments' tab of the profile. There, you need to change the 'Maximum line width for comments' value...
