Eclipse -- word wrap?

posting here because for some very odd reason Sitepoint got rid of java/JSP forum…

can’t find a way to make Eclipse wrap paragraphs… it drives me absolutely nuts when I can’t get an IDE to wrap paragraphs… every IDE should have this… pls tell me I can do this with Eclipse…

thank you…

Eclipse doesn’t have it built-in. I can’t imagine why you would want that feature in a code editor. Wrapped code is harder to read, IMHO.

Two options that popped up in a google search:

http://ahtik.com/blog/projects/eclipse-word-wrap/

http://texlipse.sourceforge.net/manual/installation.html

Since both options are old, there’s no guarantee that they will work.

oh, I always want that in a text editor… it drives me nuts to have to scroll endlessly to the right to see the end of a paragraph… doesn’t make any sense to me at all (it doesn’t wrap it in terms of how it displays on the browser, i.e., it doesn’t add line-breaks to the paragraph… it just wraps it on the editor for easier viewing…)

it also bothers me I can’t drag-n-drop to move or copy text/code, I guess I also need a “plugin” for this… I don’t get this… :frowning: I’ve never needed a plugin for these simple settings in IDE’s like Dreamweaver… am at a new job, we use Eclipse… hopefully they will let me dl these plugins… :wink:

thank you…
