one argument per line method signatures

[Ueli Hofstetter]

currently our eclipse code formatter formats method bodys/constructors like this

void foo(int a, int b, int c, int d, int e, .....)

as soon as there are more then, let's say, 6 arguments including generics, long names asf, this gets very unreadable.

the idea would be to switch to a one argument per line formatting style (evt. only when we have more then x arguments), ie

void foo(int a,
         int b,
         int c,
         ....)

please leave comments on whether do you think this is useful/ necessary and whether this is possible in eclipse at all (at first view it seem's impossible in eclipse ....)

It's not a bad idea.

It's possible to be done.
In Eclipse you can define how source code is formatted.

Would you like to try?
Please let me know if you have troubles.
