Description Pedro Pedruzzi CLA 2013-07-31 09:01:36 EDT 
Additional actions (under Preferences > Java > Editor > Save Actions) are great but I really miss an option to only affect edited lines (like format source code action has).

Changing non-edited lines can generate uneccesary edit conflicts in team projects. At least the automatic save actions (cleanup/indent/format) should not mix with other effective changes.

Move to UI for comment.

I fear whether such a feature will hamper the look and feel of the file if we end up with a file where for e.g. some private fields are marked with 'final' whereas some not or some members use 'this' qualifier for field access whereas some do not. 
We should not apply this option to all the save actions option, but can come up with the list of options that can be qualified to be part of this feature.
