What you're describing is called "soft wrap". This was supposed to be in 3.2 and got bumped. I'm not sure if it made it into 3.3, but I don't remember seeing it.

Thanks David, but that's not what I want (I think). Maybe it is buried under Eclipse's complexity. Playing with these settings made no difference to long comments for example. All I want is for an editor to recognize that a line is too long for the current size of the window, scans backwards for the last syntactic break and just wraps the line nicely. If I make the window larger or smaller, it rewraps.

Is there any way to make Eclipse wrap the text instead of disappearing off the right hand side?

I have thousands of components that come from WOBuilder that have no line endings (and I don't want to edit them all), and hundreds of email templates that only have line endings at the ends of paragraphs (and I want them to stay that way) and it is a huge pain to use Eclipse to edit them. Select-dragging across text when the window is scrolled right causes the whole window to scroll back to the beginning of the line if you go up or down a few pixels. Dragging the selected text to the left causes the window to scroll to the left so you can never get to your target.

Can someone please tell me how I can make text wrap to the window width in Eclipse? Surely I'm not the only person who wants to do this?

Gaastra,
I agree with everyone else that a 80 char limit is really annoying.

But if you want to "show gutter", in eclipse go to:

Eclipse > Preferences > General > Editors> Text Editors > Show Print Margin

Or in the search box of preference, type "margin".

You can also use the code formatter with this limit.

Cheers,
Bueno

Dear List,

How does one show a vertical line toward the right side of a java
editor - indicating 80 character width. In XCode, one could select
"show gutter" at 80 characters.

Poll: How many WO developers still enforce 80 character width for
their java code?


With Kind Regards,
