In the formatter implementation the following default code is produced:
-------------------------------------------
	@Override
	protected void configureFormatting(FormattingConfig c) {
// It's usually a good idea to activate the following three statements.
// They will add and preserve newlines around comments
//		c.setLinewrap(0, 1, 2).before(getGrammarAccess().getSL_COMMENTRule());
//		c.setLinewrap(0, 1, 2).before(getGrammarAccess().getML_COMMENTRule());
//		c.setLinewrap(0, 1, 1).after(getGrammarAccess().getML_COMMENTRule());
	}
-------------------------------------------

Removing the comments as suggested will lead to non-compilable code, since getGrammarAccess() will return IGrammarAccess and getML_COMMENTRule()) is only valid on the DSL specific GrammarAccess.

I suggest to change the code to:

-------------------------------------------
	@Override
	protected void configureFormatting(FormattingConfig c) {
// It's usually a good idea to activate the following statements.
// They will add and preserve newlines around comments
//     «MyDSL»GrammarAccess g = («MyDSL»GrammarAccess) getGrammarAccess();
//		c.setLinewrap(0, 1, 2).before(g.getSL_COMMENTRule());
//		c.setLinewrap(0, 1, 2).before(g.getML_COMMENTRule());
//		c.setLinewrap(0, 1, 1).after(g.getML_COMMENTRule());
	}
