Description Oliver Kopp CLA 2013-05-06 03:21:55 EDT 
The @formatter:off tag is not respected in block comments:

	/**
	 * @formatter:off
	 * This line gets moved
	 * @formatter:on
	 */
	public static void test() {
	}

gets

	/**
	 * @formatter:off This line gets moved
	 * @formatter:on
	 */
	public static void test() {
	}
Comment 1 Palmer Eldritch CLA 2013-12-17 08:16:49 EST 
It is not only inside block comments :

class Test {
	
	// formatter:off
	/*
	private void meth() {
		// this will wrap
	}
	*/
}

Ctrl+shift+F

class Test {
	// formatter:off
	/*
	 * private void meth() { // this will wrap }
	 */
}

Should I fill a new one (as I intended originally) ?
Comment 2 Mateusz Matela CLA 2018-01-02 16:28:09 EST 
I've checked both cases and they work correctly now (except that Palmer used "formatter:off" instead of "@formatter:off"), probably since the formatter rewrite in Eclipse Mars.
