[news.eclipse.tools.jdt] Jave 3.3 code formatter question

Hi all,

I would like to invoke the code formatter when I save a file, but I'm running into one annoyance I can't seem to work around. I want to format method parameters manually, e.g.

void myMethod(int a, int b,
              int c, double d) {
...
}

but Eclipse 3.3 won't let me. If I have the formatter on, it insists on unwrapping the declaration to

void myMethod(int a, int b, int c, double d) {
...
}

and rewrapping if that violates the line length. This is with the relevant formatter preference set to no wrapping; any of the other wrapping options wraps it differently, but not the way I want.

The smart money says I'm missing something. Is there a way to tell the code formatter to ignore parameter lists when formatting the code, or a way to insert a "hard" line break that is inviolable?

TIA,
Paul
