Cannot format java file [message #38667]

I have one java file where Source->Format (Ctrl-Shift-F) does NOTHING. It
works in every other file in my project. I selected the entire file and
copied it to the clipboard. I deleted the original file and created a new
one with the same name and then pasted the clipboard contents into it.
Still no good.

I created a new class in the file with the layout:

private final class SomePanel extends JPanel {
}

With nothing in the file selected, I hit Ctrl-Shift-F and nothing happens.
I copied this text to the clipboard and pasted into another Java file in the
same project, package, etc. I hit Ctrl-Shift-F in the new file and the text
reformats to

private final class SomePanel
extends JPanel {
}

Is my original file cursed? :-)

What am I doing wrong?

BTW, I checked for hidden annotations and comments in the file that might
turn off formatting, but can't find any.

Thanks.

Hi,

Please try over in the eclipse.tools.jdt newsgroup. This newsgroup is
about the Eclipse organization itself and not about using Eclipse.

Might be a bug. Please open a bug report against JDT/Core with the
contents of your compilation unit in the bug report.
Thanks.
Fu2 to eclipse.jdt.tools.
