Code formatter - line wrapping behavior [message #1793520]

After migrating my Java dev-environment from Kepler Service Release 2 to
Oxygen.3 Release (4.7.3) I noticed, that the line wrapping behaviour of the
Java Code Formatter is different now although the same settings are used.

An example:

- Default settings of "Eclipse [built-in]"
- Fuction Calls -> Argutments
- line width: 40

Kepler Service Release 2:

class Example {
	void foo() {
		Other.bar(
				100,
				nested(200, 300, 400,
						500, 600, 700,
						800, 900));
	}
}

Oxygen.3 Release (4.7.3):

class Example {
	void foo() {
		Other.bar(100,
				nested(200, 300, 400,
						500, 600, 700,
						800, 900));
	}
}

This causes a lot of trouble, because after making a small change on an existig
class and formatting the code there are a lot of changes just because of differently
wrapped lines. So you have to look really hard in structure compare to find the
"real" changes.

I played around with the settings a little, but did not succeed.
Is there a possibility to make the Java Code Formatter in Oxygen.3 work the "old" way?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards
Ulf
