Line Wrapping

[Lil_Aziz1]

Is it possible to line wrap in Eclipse? Like in NetBeans? Possibility even have the vertical line at 80 width? I went to Preference > Java > Editor > Typing and wrapping string literals was already checked. Then I made my own Formatter (Preference > Code Style > Formatter > Edit > Change name to "Aziz" > Select all possibilities and select wrap all the time). It still does not wrap the freaking text! Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

did you set the max line width?

[Lil_Aziz1]

it was already set to 80.

Is there an option on the editor popup? I've remember that in IntelliJIDEA has the similar option. Right click on your editor and check on the pop-up menu.

Ooh okay so I made the margin at 80 width show, but it still won't wrap. To show the margin, I did: Preference > General > Editor > Text Editors > Check "Show print margin"
Still would like Eclipse to wrap the text :\

So there is no option in the popup menu.

Nope :(. After some more googling, I did find this:

How can I force line wrap in Eclipse Editor? - Dev Shed > EclipseZone - Word Wrap in the Eclipse Editor ...

Basically, to wrap lines in Eclipse, one needs to download a plug-in. This plug-in comes with a disadvantage: "He then proceeds to give a stern warning that this plug-in doesn't go so far as to fix so many of the side-effects this will produce. This particular release is naturally experimental because so many of the Eclipse features (annotations, line numbers, 'go to line', and so forth) will almost always be disrupted by this feature. "

Think I can live without a line wrapper ;)
Thanks guys!

I think that's one of the weak point I've seen in Eclipse. Most of the key features are comes with their party packages, in plug-ins. Do you really think that's okay?

:| I completely agree with you. Do other IDEs like NetBeans do the same thing? Honestly, even if they didn't have the same problem, I probably wouldn't switch Eclipse to NetBeans because I've gotten so comfortable with using Eclipse.

Even NetBeans has large number of plugins, but most of the default features are comes with the default package. I would say what you really need is there in the default installation package.
