One patch = 1000 words. On formatting :

 	private static volatile String uuid; // volatile needed - see EJ item 71
-	// need lazy initialization to get a context

+	// need lazy initialization to get a context
 	/**
 	 * javadoc omitted
 	 */
 	public static String getDeviceIdentifier(Context ctx,
 			boolean ignoreBuggyAndroidID) throws DeviceIDException {


As you see the formatter relates the comment to the next block of "declarations of the same kind". The formatter should detect there is a comment in the previous line and continue streaming the comment. This is an example of the line comments being "second line citizens" - see the blocked bug at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=396686.

I attach my formatting preferences

Thanks
