Text formatting problem: Missing context menu and max line length parm [message #510413]

I would like to (re-)format the soruce code of my currently opened file (in focus).

This could be done back in Eclipse v3.3 by right clicking onto the text editor pane and selecting the context menu entry "Format".

I miss this context menu entry in v3.5
Do I have to enable this somewhere ?
I found this only in menu "Source".

Secondly I miss a parameter to specify the max allowed length of a line. Currently all lines are wrapped after approx
column 80.

How can I increase this value to lets say 120?
