I missed your question, because I was not following this newsgroup.
Such question should be posted in eclipse.tools.jdt. Post new
questions on this topic on eclipse.tools.jdt newsgroup.

Eclipse is licenced under CPL license (Common public licence). You can
find all details on this license here:
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/index.php

If you want to use Jalopy, go ahead. We simply changed the code
formatter to give a default formatter that is more flexible. Nothing
prevents you from using Jalopy. From the author of Jalopy, he won't
fix the existing bugs in Jalopy in the free version. You will need to
purchase Jalopy to get the latest fixes. Contact the author to get a
tigher integration inside Eclipse.

All these styles are handled by the new formatter. Unfortunately the
code formatter preference page is not available yet. Should be
included for M5.
