Description Tim Moore CLA 2003-01-07 15:29:46 EST 
Currently, setting the "maximum line length" to 0 (in the Java > Code Formatter 
> Line Splitting preferences) causes the formatter to unwrap all lines when 
formatting.  I would like an option to have the formatter leave the current 
wrapping intact.
Comment 1 Olivier Thomann CLA 2003-01-15 13:31:20 EST 
We need to clear 2.1 bug reports that won't be addressed before 2.1. The new 
implementation is still in progress. Therefore we cannot include it for 2.1. 
Not enough testing and we need to polish the preferences. This will be address 
for 2.2 as stated in the JDT/Core plan.

Resurrecting for 3.0
Comment 4 Olivier Thomann CLA 2003-06-12 15:58:54 EDT 
Reopen for 3.0 consideration.
Comment 5 Olivier Thomann CLA 2003-10-03 10:17:40 EDT 
This is addressed in the new formatter by specifying no alignment.
Fixed and released in HEAD.
Regression test added.
Comment 6 David Audel CLA 2003-10-14 07:08:26 EDT 
Verified.
Comment 7 Geoffrey Wiseman CLA 2004-09-27 14:24:30 EDT 
Would like to be able to use this feature, but I don't understand the comment. 
"No alignment"?  Where is that set?

I want to be able to leave the existing line wrapping in place - neither split
nor  join existing lines.

More to the point, what I'd really like is the option to tell Eclipse that I
want it to split lines, according to the pre-specified rules, as necessary, but
not to join them.  That way I could 'correct' its choices as I see fit as long
as I ensure that I don't go beyond the wrapping threshold.
