Created attachment 288421 [details] The JSON Formatter allows inserting a newline before a comma. The JSON Formatter allows inserting a newline before a comma. (Angular Development Tools For Eclipse by Austin Fu installed in eclipse 2022-03) (see attachment: 20220408_03_<...>.bmp) The Java Code Formatter only allows inserting a blank before a comma. (see attachment: 20220408_04_<...>.bmp) The Java Code Formatter only allows inserting newlines around statements and blocks. (see attachment 20220408_05_<...>.bmp Ideally, anywhere a blank can be inserted, you should also be able to insert a newline. Thanks Dave Mattinson

That's quite an eccentric request, I'm very doubtful enough people would appreciate this kind of setting to warrant implementing it. Do you have some examples of situations where it would be particularly useful, or some evidence that more people are interested in it? Do other Java IDEs support it? (JSON is a completely different thing...) If not, I think we'll close as won't fix.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
