Description gualtiero65 2013-05-31 14:48:48 UTC 
It would nice to have Java formatting options to keep or not keep

- line breaks
- comments on first column
- chained method calls

Example for "line breaks":

String myVar = String.format("Hello, %s", 
    name);

If "keep line breaks" is yes, the file formatting will not touch the above two lines.

If "keep line breaks" is no, the file formatting will change as follows:

String myVar = String.format("Hello, %s", name);

but only if right margin value is respected.

Similar actions for the other options.
