What you're describing is called "soft wrap".
Try telling those street kids that one :-) I was just thinking of wrap
in contrast to formatting and line breaking.
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.
Just did another search and I can't find it in 3.3.2 either. Thanks
for the info. So that's 5673 to Eclipse and 1 to Xcode! Maybe Alice
Cooper will play some Rick Wakeman on PlanetRock.

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,
