Join lines in Eclipse without whitespace

Question

For example, joining these two lines with the keyboard shortcut CTRL+J in Eclipse results in the following:

something().somethingElse()
    .yetAnotherThing();

// Joining the above two lines results in this:
something().somethingElse() .yetAnotherThing();

Is there a way to join those lines so it results in this:

// Notice there is no excess whitespace
something().somethingElse().yetAnotherThing();

Answer 1

As far as the specific "join lines" command introduced with Eclipse 3.3 which in my case is bound to Ctrl+Alt+J, I think we are currently stuck with the addition of the space. It is a known bug.

You might throw the dice and instead select the lines and try the format command (for me it is bound to Shift+Ctrl+F) to see if that behaves any better.

Selecting the lines ahead of requesting the format should limit the scope of formatting to the selected lines.
