Hi

I noticed that Robin removed trailing whitespaces from my patch(thanks).
It appears that if you enable code formatting and the removement of
trailing whitespaces in the save actions option that the formatting
option will win.
It will add a space at the second line of a javadoc comment:
/**
~ * <----

I think this is a bug in eclipse, did any of you create a bug report for
that? Or a feature request for an "no whitespace after javadoc" option
in the code formatter page?

I want to have both options active, because I don't want to commit wrong
formatted patches.

Best regards,
Florian

When I have both options active, it adds the whitespace when formatting, but
removes it when saving in (version 3.3.2).

Thank you. I voted for that feature, maybe it helps to draw attention to
this feature wish.

Strange, I use version 3.3.2 too. I configured it in the workspace settings.
Maybe you did in the project settings?

Best regards,
Florian
