Wrapping chained method calls on a separate line in Eclipse for Java

Question

I haven\'t been successful in figuring out how to wrap each method call in Eclipse. For example, I have this:

someObject.A().B().C();


        

Answer 1

If you are willing to do the formatting of those segments yourself, you can prevent eclipse from reformatting those segments by using:

// @formatter:off
...
// @formatter:on

You might need to enable this in your preferences: http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6-201006080911/eclipse-news-part2.html#JavaFormatter

Answer 2

For those who have eclipse code formatting settings checked into source control (for consistent code formatting across the whole team), the .settings folder is checked in.

The property that will give you this formatting behavior is in the .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs file.

The property is:

org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.alignment_for_selector_in_method_invocation=80

Answer 3

in: Window->Preferences->Java->Code Style->Formater->Edit->Line wrapping->Function call-> Qualified invocation

select Indentation policy as indent on column

Answer 4

Customize your eclipse formatter in both java and javascript. increase the max line with that fits your screen.

Answer 5

Window → Preferences → Java → Code Style → Formater → Edit → Line wrapping → Never join already wrapped lines

Answer 6

Window > Preferences > Java > Code Style > Formater > Edit > Line wrapping > Function Calls, set the 'Line wrapping policy' as 'Wrap all elements, every element on a new line'.
