James,
SWT StyledText component lying under TextEditor can be set an option
SWT.WRAP, which is definitely not alpha, works well, but has still low
functionality. It is a basic word wrap. Try out this example:
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledText;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.FillLayout;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
public class Snip {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
StyledText text = new StyledText (shell, SWT.WRAP);
shell.pack();
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch())
display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}
}

if you try this code you can have a look how does basic SWT word-wrap
look like. Text is wrapped like in Windows Notepad - to not exceed the
visible area. You cannot for example set a certain column to be wrapped.
The StyledText is a widget used in standard text editor, so in your own
editor you only have to set SWT.WRAP flag.

James,
Jacek's suggestion was a code-level option, to apply if you were writing
your own editor or modifying the Eclipse source. And even with that,
from what little I've read, it will not work seamlessly with the Eclipse
Java editor - there are problems with the interaction with line-based
editor features like decorators, etc.
The Bugzilla report that was posted earlier in this thread goes into the
details of why this is such a can of worms and not as simple as it seems
on the surface.
Hope this helps,
Eric
By the way, are you the same James Robertson of Smalltalk fame?
