Build Identifier: 

I'm missing an option in the formatter settings to remove unneeded empty rows but one.

if this option is enabled the javadoc or the block comment should format from 
<code>
/*(*) 
 *
 * This is a comment.
 * 
 *
 * This is a separate paragraph in the comment
 *
 *
 * @author kaha@gmail.com
 */
</code>

into

<code>
/*(*) 
 * This is a comment.
 *
 * This is a separate paragraph in the comment
 *
 * @author kaha@gmail.com
 */
</code>

If I'm turning on the currently existing "Remove blank lines" feature, it formats into 

<code>
/*(*) 
 * This is a comment. This is a separate paragraph in the comment
 *
 * @author kaha@gmail.com
 */
</code>

Reproducible: Always
