Eclipse formatter to keep One-Liners

Question

Can Eclipse Formatter be configured to keep:

public Long getId() { return this.id; }

And maybe to format small (one line) definitions as one-liners?

Answer 1

No: bug 205973 has been written to request such a formatter option.
3 years later, it doesn't seem likely to be implemented.

Edit May 2001:

maleki mentions, in response to orbfish's comment, that at least you have some control over the zones of code which Eclipse may or may not format:

Java development user guide > Reference > Java Editor > Formatter Help page

This isn't a direct answer, but it can help:
