How to stop Eclipse formatter from placing all enums on one line

Question

I have enums like:

public static enum Command
{
login,
register,
logout,
newMessage
}

When formatting the file, the output becomes:

<         


        

Answer 1

You can specify this in your formatter preferences:

• Preferences: Java -- Code Style -- Formatter
• Click Edit
• Select the 'Line Wrapping' tab
• Select 'enum' declaration -> Constants in the box on the left
• Set Line wrapping policy to 'Wrap all elements, every element on a new line'
• Check 'Force split...'
