Stop Eclipse from mangling my comments

Question

Is there a way to stop eclipse from mangling the comments in my source files?

My main issue is stopping it from word wrapping them. I\'ve managed to configure eclips

Answer 1

There is another solution that you can use to suppress the formatting of specific block comments. Use /*- (note the hyphen) at the beginning of the block comment, and the formatting won't be affected if you format the rest of the file.

/*-
 * Here is a block comment with some very special
 * formatting that I want indent(1) to ignore.
 *
 *    one
 *        two
 *            three
 */
