How to change wrap column for "source format" operation? [message #649732]

As well known I can re-format the marked part of the current source code be clicking the menu

Source->Format

Unfortunately some (long) source lines are wrapped very
short.

How can I specify (increase) the column number when I source code line wrap should take place?

BTW: Is this source->format a pure (=built-in) feature of Eclipse or does is depend from CheckStyle Plugin settings?

If there are two different line length wrap values:
Which has priority?

Window->preferences->java->code style->Formattor

here the active profile you will see is Eclipse[build-in]

click on edit
you will get eclipse[build-in] profile settings

Got o line-wrapping
here Maximum-line-width is 80 by default..
change "Maximum-line-width" to whatever you want.

there is need to change the name of the profile also..
Change the profile name and say APPLY
select the active profile as the same name which you have given

and now format your file by saying source format
