Hi MyEclipse team!

When using streams we may result in a long chain of method calls. Like this:

list.stream().a().b().c().d();

We know that Eclipse Java code formatter indention options can be set to achieve a format like this:

list
    .stream()
    .a()
    .b()
    .c()
    .d();

The downside is that every other chained method call will also be formatted this way like this:

object.m1().m2().m3();

Will become:

object
    .m1()
    .m2()
    .m3();

What we really would like are settings to control the indention explicitly for streams:

Make it possible to indent streams only and keep “non stream” method chaines untouched.
Make it possible to indent streams only after a specified line length – no like breaks for short stream chaines.

What we do not want to use:

//@formatter:off

Regards
Stefan

Stefan,

Thank you for your recommendations for formatting. I have filed an enhancement request for the dev team to work on it.
We will keep you posted when we add this feature.
