Stop Eclipse from mangling my comments

Viewed 10590

Is there a way to stop eclipse from mangling the comments in my source files?

My main issue is stopping it from word wrapping them. I've managed to configure eclipse to not word wrap any code but it still seems to do it to comments.

Code that I enter like this:

public int myVariable = 100; // this variable is a very interesting variable and it does lots of stuff

End up like this:

public int myVariable = 100; // this variable
                             // is a very
                             // interesting
                             // variable and
                             // it does lots
                             // of stuff

You can use <pre></pre> wrapped, this block will not format.

/*
 * <pre class="prettyprint">
 * public class Activity extends ApplicationContext {
 *     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState);
 *
 *     protected void onStart();
 *
 *     protected void onRestart();
 *
 *     protected void onResume();
 *
 *     protected void onPause();
 *
 *     protected void onStop();
 *
 *     protected void onDestroy();
 * }
 * </pre>
