Answer 4

I use the Eclipse version called Mars which works with Java 7.

Go to Preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Formatter

Click on the Edit Button shown in the right side of "Active Profile" drop down

Tabs: "Line wrapping"

Field: "Maximum line width", Set the desired value (Default value set to 120) to increase/decrease the line length in the editor

Note: Remember to rename the Active profile to the name of your choice, as the default Eclipse profile won't accept your changes.

Answer 5

In preferences Java -> Code Style -> Formatter, edit the profile. Under the Line Wrapping tab is the primary option for line width (Maximum line width:). In the Comments tab you have a separate option Maximum line width for comments:, which will also need to be changed to affect comment wrapping.

You will need to make your own profile to make these changes in if you using one of the [Built-in] ones. Just click "New..." on the formatter preferences page.

Click Project->preferences. Type format into the search - you should see java->code style->formatter. Click that, then edit - finally, the line wrapping tab - its there :)
