Eclipse: Automatic line wrapping to specified width

Question

I\'d like for my lines, especially within comments, to be automatically managed so they don\'t get too long.

I remember once I had a configuration for vim

Answer 1

In "Windows -> Preferences", go to "Java -> Code style -> Formatter" to customize the formatter (called when you click Ctrl+Shift+F). In the tab "comment", you can set the maximum line width for comments (it can be different then the line width for code).

Tip: in the preferences, "Java -> Editor -> Save actions", you can make Eclipse to automatically format your file when you save it, so your code is always correctly indented !
