I agree with that, to me it should be at least more a structural formatting than an automatic one, but if we should have one, I would prefer 120. Actually, I remember having using it for Randori and the continuous line wrapping didn't help at all, I guess it was ok when I had a 15' screen but now it makes the code too complicated to read. I had to switch back to 120 instead of 80 for: <setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.alignment_for_conditional_expression" value="120"/> <setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.lineSplit" value="120"/> <setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.comment.line_length" value="120"/> <setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.alignment_for_resources_in_try" value="120"/> I won't object more than that if folks prefer 80 but for sure that won't be a pleasant experience to me. For the rest of the formatting, I'm ok.
