Turn off formatter for commented lines [message #1795485]

Hi,

Is there a way to turn off the formatter only for commented lines?

1. Example code:

int number = 10;
number = 11;

2. Code after selecting it and using Ctrl + Shift + / to comment it:

/*int number = 10;
number = 11;*/

3. Code after using auto-format Ctrl + Shift + F:

/*
* int number = 10; number = 11;
*/

4. Code after selecting it and using Ctrl + Shift + \ to uncomment it:

* int number = 10; number = 11;

It will remove /* and */ from start and end of the code, but it will leave * behind at the start of each line.
Is there a way to stop the auto-format from turning the code from 2. into 3.? Or even after the auto-format does that change, to make the Ctrl + Shift + \ remove the * from each line?

Have a look at Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Formatter, edit those, and look at the Comments section where you can disable block comment formatting.
