java - How do I modify Eclipse code formatting?

Question

When I reformat code with Eclipse, it turns method headers like this:

public void myMethod(String param) {

into method headers like this:

public void myMethod(
                     String param) {

When I was brought on here I'd never used Eclipse before, and I imported project settings provided by someone else. I have seen that on small new projects I've worked on Eclipse does not do this, so it must be in the settings I've imported. But I've gone through every panel I can find, as well as every hidden file I can find in the workspace, and I can't figure out what is causing this.

How do I turn it off? I don't want a newline before parameters in my method signatures, and I can't imagine why anyone would!

Answer 1

Have a look at Window>Preferences>Java>Code Style>Formatter.

There you can configure almost everything. Your case is found at

Line Wrapping>Method Declarations>Parameters.
