How to configure eclipse to keep this code format?

Question

Following code is from a sample of playframework-2.0:

/**
 * Display the dashboard.
 */
public static Result index() {
    return ok(
        dashboard.render(
            Project.findInvolving(request().username()),
            Task.findTodoInvolving(request().username()),
            User.find.byId(request().username())
        )
    );
}

It looks good, but when I use code format of eclipse, it becomes:

/**
 * Display the dashboard.
 */
public static Result index() {
    return ok(dashboard.render(
        Project.findInvolving(request().username()),
        Task.findTodoInvolving(request().username()),
        User.find.byId(request().username())
        ));
}

How to configure eclipse to keep to first format style? I tried a lot, but not works.

Answer 1

You have to using Code Formatter in eclipse. You can find it in following path:

1. windows menu and in Preferences item.
2. go to java in left tree.
3. go to code style sub-tree of java.
4. select Formatter leaf.
5. click Edit button and edit your customize formate and save it.

I recomend you save your customization environment such as formatter and use it in others place. Eclipse hold formatter information in a xml file. you can specify path of this file.
