How to stop Eclipse formatter from placing all enums on one line

Question

I have enums like:

public static enum Command
{
login,
register,
logout,
newMessage
}

When formatting the file, the output becomes:

<         


        

Answer 1

It's not nice but you can turn the Eclipse formatter off for some sections of code...

// @formatter:off
public static enum Command {
    login,
    register,
    logout,
    newMessage
};
// @formatter:on

the option is in the Windows->Preferences->Java->Code Style->Formatter->Edit->Off/On Tags panel
