I use the source formatting of Eclipse quite often but have issues when
I have a multiline comment, format, edit the comment, and then reformat
the comment. The problem is that when allowing Eclipse to reformat a
comment it honors line breaks. So if I have a comment like the following:
// Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. In
// at diam. Nunc lacinia, neque sed dapibus convallis, mauris
// arcu vulputate est, in blandit odio mauris quis elit. Duis
// tortor. Sed vitae mauris. Curabitur mattis tincidunt massa.
// Etiam pulvinar, orci congue semper viverra, est quam varius
// sem, vitae interdum ligula turpis.
then remove the first 3 words of the third line:
// Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. In
// at diam. Nunc lacinia, neque sed dapibus convallis, mauris
// in blandit odio mauris quis elit. Duis
// tortor. Sed vitae mauris. Curabitur mattis tincidunt massa.
// Etiam pulvinar, orci congue semper viverra, est quam varius
// sem, vitae interdum ligula turpis.
When I reformat I get no change even though I'd like for the fourth line
to fill the available space on line 3.
The question is, is there a way in Eclipse to quickly and easily convert
this back to a one line comment and then reformat? I would think the
reason that it doesn't automatically assume that the comments are a part
of one comment because // is suppose to be a single line comment and
making that assumption could combine separate comment statements. I
guess the other option is to use /* */ for my comments but ctrl+/ is
just way to easy and for some reason // just looks better in my code.
Thanks,
Brad

In this scenario you should use multi-line comments, which are correctly
handled by the formatter.
