Hi All

I am using eclipse formatter to format some strings that contains sqls inside.

When i write the code as below eclipse formatter is combinining all the string.

String sql = "select * from table" +
"where table.colonA > 0" +
"and table.colonB < 0 ";

After i applied the formatter the string becomes combined as below

String sql = "select * from table where table.colonA > 0 and table.colonB < 0";

Is there a way to prevent this with enabling some parameter in eclipse formatter?

Regards
Murat YILMAZ

But I do not think there is a problem with the statement interpretation or is there? What I understand is that the semi colon is the one that marks the end of a statement so the 2 versions will be read and interpreted the same way. This is just to make the code neat.

Eclipse allows you to turn off formatting by placing a special comment, like:
// @formatter:off
...
// @formatter:on

The on/off feature has to be turned on in Eclipse preferences:
Java > Code Style > Formatter.
Click on "Edit" button, go to "Off/On Tags" tab and check "Enable Off/On tags".
You can also change the tags there if required.

So, in your case, enable the on/off feature and place your code that you don't want to be formatted in between the tags:
// @formatter:off
String sql = "select * from table" +
"where table.colonA > 0" +
"and table.colonB < 0 ";
// @formatter:off
