The setting is there in the Control Statements tab: Keep 'then' statement on same line. That option does not work. The 'then' statement is still moved to the second line. I have narrowed the scope from All/All to PC/Linux, since this is the Oxygen 4.7.3a 64-bit Linux tar.gz downloaded straight from the website. I found the problem. I had set Line Wrapping > Compact If-Else set to the following:
org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.alignment_for_compact_if=49
Wrap all elements, every element on a new line
Force split = yes
The Force Split was the culprit. Setting back to this:
org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.alignment_for_compact_if=16
Wrap where necessary
Force split = no

Why is there no option to leave braceless if statements on one line, not two? All of the following if (true) x = 0; if (true) return; if (true) throw new Exception(); if (true) while (true) { // do stuff } are incorrectly formatted as if (true) x = 0; if (true) return; if (true) throw new Exception(); if (true) while (true) { // do stuff } This was not a problem in the OldJavaFormatter.javaFormatter from Eclipse 3.*.
