Same option in too many places [message #169142]

This is one of the most frustrating things about eclipse. Same option is
set in differrent places. I tried to change "print column width" from 80
to 500. I changed it in Java|Editor, still wrapped. Searched and changed
it in Workbench|Editor, still wrapped!! Finally found the last setting
in Java|CodeStyle|CodeFormatter.

This problem is not isolated or last one. Please look into this and
standardize the feature settings especially thos that are common.

"Print margin column" is just this - showed if you have checked
"Show pring margin", it doesn't format anything automatically.

That setting is for the Plain Text editor not the Java one.

Yes, there you specify the formatting preferences for your Java code.

Could you point the other problems (or just another one) you have?

"print column width" has nothing to do with wrapping.

WHen you choose auto-format, if a code line is going beyond the limit
the line is wrapped. For example

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( client.window, "Index Not Found",
"Index Error",
JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE );

but that's 'maximum line width' not the print margin.

these 2 are different - i worked on a project when people used backward
editors on linux that could not display more than 80 columns - so i set
the print margin to make it easier for myself to wrap lines.
but i would never let an automatic formatter to wrap or otherwise format
my source code.
