Ahti Kitsik's plugin is mentioned above, but there's a newer plugin by another author that works with newer versions of Eclipse (up to Juno, at least), and also fixed the line numbering issue in the older plugin.

Full installation instructions are at Eclipse version to download the word wrap plug-in

From Bug 35779 - Comment 187:

A workaround, that I use for the last years now, is to use the eclipse wiki markup editor for editing text files. This supports word wrap, and this is enough for me. Maybe this information could be of help to some of you.

Answer 3

First alpha of eclipse word wrap released!

Got this answer from this post: How can I get word wrap to work in Eclipse PDT for PHP files?

Answer 4

Ctrl+Shift+F will format a file in Eclipse, breaking long lines into multiple lines and nicely word-wrapping comments. You can also highlight just a section of text and format that.

I realize this is not an automatic soft/hard word wrap like the other answers, but I don't think the question was asking for anything fancy.

Answer 5

Word wrap comes out of the box with Juno now. Right Click on the editor and select the "Word Wrap" option from the dropdown.
