I have the Language Support for Java(TM) by Red Hat extension installed in Visual Studio Code. Among other features, this extension can auto-format java code. I have it set to do this whenever I save the file.

It appears to have the max line length set to 120 characters, but I would like to set it to 80 characters. I have been searching everywhere but I can't figure out where to find the relevant setting.

Is it possible to set the formatter to a different max line length? If so, how?

In Settings.json, set

"editor.wordWrap": "wordWrapColumn",
"editor.wordWrapColumn": 79,

When code is over the max length, which is 80 now, it will turn to the next line:

After coding, right click in current .java file and choose Format Document, all code will be formatted by the wordWrap setting and the max length will be 80.
