need option to control line wrapping before/after operators

It would be nice if there was a code formatting option (that could ideally be
referenced by the wrap java strings feature of the java editor), to set wrapping
before or after operators.  

One example of where this option would apply is when formatting code that looks
like this:

    if (a.getSomeBooleanValue() && b.getSomeOtherBooleanValue() &&
        c.getYetAnotherBooleanValue()) {
      doSomething();
    }

The code formatter currently always changes the code above to the code below,
and there's no option (at least not that I've found) to control this behavior.

    if (a.getSomeBooleanValue() && b.getSomeOtherBooleanValue()
        && c.getYetAnotherBooleanValue()) {
      doSomething();
    }

Note also that the wrap java strings feature and the code formatter are
inconsistent with respect to this behavior.  Specifically, if I use the wrap
java strings feature, I get this:

    System.out.println("asdlfj asfl;kj saflksj fl;ksaj flsjd f;asl fsjdf" +
        "sdflkjsdfl;jaslfdjsdlfkj  sdflk sdjflks f");

Now, when I format the code using the code formatter, I get

    System.out.println("asdlfj asfl;kj saflksj fl;ksaj flsjd f;asl fsjdf"
                       + "sdflkjsdfl;jaslfdjsdlfkj  sdflk sdjflks f");

Note that one wraps before the + operator and the other wraps after the plus
operator (not to mention the inconsistent indentation).
