Eclipse line wrapper doesn't seem to work [message #1736080]

I have a line of Java code which is a simple assignment of a String to literal text. The text is 69 characters. The entire assignment, however (including leading spaces), is more than 100 characters. I have the "Maximum Line Width" property of my Java > Code Style > Formatter preferences set to 100. I would expect, then, that the auto formatter should break this into 2 lines. However, it does not. Why? What can I do to fix this?

Attached is the code in question.
