Eclipse Code Format Behavior

Question

My apologies if I'm missing something obvious but there's something that really bugs me about the Eclipse code formatter. I don't want it to make any lines of code longer, only shorter. Is there a way to force the formatter to behavior this way?

Example 1:

if (somethingIsTrue() || somethingElseIsTrue()) {
  //-- Do Something.
}

Example 2:

if (somethingIsTrue() ||
    somethingElseIsTrue()) {
  //-- Do something.
}

I don't want the formatter to touch either of these code blocks. Currently it will always expand the second example to match the first. I don't want that.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

If this is Java, under Preferences.Java.Code Style.Formatter and then in tab Line Wrapping there is a check box called Never join lines. That's worth a try...
