I am working with Java. If I hit Ctrl+Shift+F in Eclipse Helios, it will auto format my code. At a certain point, it wraps lines. I would like to increase the maximum line length. How can I do this?

I use the Eclipse version called Mars which works with Java 7.
Go to Preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Formatter
Click on the Edit Button shown in the right side of "Active Profile" drop down
Tabs: "Line wrapping"
Field: "Maximum line width", Set the desired value (Default value set to 120) to increase/decrease the line length in the editor
Note: Remember to rename the Active profile to the name of your choice, as the default Eclipse profile won't accept your changes.
Line length formatter setup is blocked for annotations (Eclipse Photon checked). Therefore it is needed in Line Wrapping -> Wrapping settings -> Annotations. Setup line wrapping as appropriate for you. There is couple of possibilities, e.q. Enable wrap when necessary to use first icon list.
