I know that you can set the print margin in Eclipse, but if I want different line-width settings for different file types? Say, 100 for .java, and 80 for .txt? Is it even possible?

A:
Not possible. Not with the UI, at least.
I think that Eclipse editors could all have different settings but it seems that the usual implementation behaviour is to set common parameters in General/Editors/Text Editors and only specific properties in language-dependent editors (like Java/Editor).

+1 Eclipse associates file types with particular Editors (see Window > Preferences > General > Editors > File Associations, and Window > Preferences > General > Content Types). You can usually set some idea of line length in the Editor's preference panel.
