I've had a similar problem that I've posted before with the Java Editor. (I
created my own definitions for code formatting and they're ignored when I
press ctrl-shift-f.) I have not had time to re-install Eclipse or file a
bug report on it. I could deal with that issue if Eclipse didn't just go
through an reformat my files while I'm editing.
I had just gone through and added blank lines, by hand, in front of every
method in my class, or in front of the Javadoc comment before that method.
For me, finally, the code was easily readable. Then I added a new method
to my class, in the middle, and below it, all the methods that were one
space apart, so I could easily read them and keep them separate, had been
moved together. The blank lines before the method declarations had been
removed in most, but not all cases.
This is not something done when I opened or closed a file, and it's an
ongoing problem. I understand the need to unfold a method when I'm editing
right above it. This is completely different, though. I can have the
class formatted the way I want, then I add a new method, and suddenly
everything below it is reformatted.
If ctrl-shift-f would reformat to my specs, or if this auto-reformatting
while I'm editing would stop, it'd be okay, but as it is, I have to keep
reformatting by hand when I get confused in reading the classes. Can I
turn off this obnoxious re-writing of my code? It's like Eclipse has it's
standards and won't listen to mine.
Thanks!
Hal

It sounds to me like there's some confusion in the interpretation of the
newline characters going on in your file. Did you create this file from
scratch, or bring it on to you linux system from a windows or mac? Does
this problem happen with a new file you create from scratch? If you're
working on a Windows file on Linux, and don't use a system like CVS
which will handle the conversion automatically, you can go to
Window->Preferences->General->Workspace and change the New text file
line delimiter to Windows and see if that helps.

The file was created from scratch. It's not a problem of when the file is
read in. The problem is not on loading or saving, but what happens WHILE I
am editing in the Java editor.
There should be no problem with EOL characters, since Eclipse and the files
have been on Linux from the start.

Please file a bug report against JDT Text with steps to reproduce.
