how to turn off break line in eclipse

Question

Does anybody know how to turn line breaking in eclipse after you press CTRL + SHIFT + F (code format), ex :

System.err
                    .println         


        

Answer 1

In Helios, set 'Line Wrapping/Function Call/Indentation Policy' to 'Indent on Column' for all cases. This seems to stop the pathological case where it splits a line to try and fit within a fixed width but ends up with it further to the right than it would have been unsplit.

Or, as suggested above, disable line wrapping, or set a very wide line width. But I find it better to have it wrap and get it right than not to wrap at all.
