Description Karthik CLA 2003-12-17 17:18:36 EST 
Suppose I have this a javadoc comment like this..

/**
 * @author k.jayaprakasham
 * @version 1.0 17 Dec 2003 14:24 PM
 * 
 * @pattern Factory
 *
 * Manages whether one gets a Managed Connection or an Unmanaged
 * Connection 
 */

Reformatting this using Eclipse 3.0M5 gives

/**
 * @author k.jayaprakasham
 * @version 1.0 17 Dec 2003 14:24 PM @pattern Factory Manages whether one gets
 *          a Managed Connection or an Unmanaged Connection
 */

I have tried using the various options under window>preferences>Java>Code 
Formatter>comments. But none seem to produce the desired effect.
