[NETBEANS-1199] Unwanted wrapping after annotation if before type

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Minor
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: 8.2
• Component/s: editor - Formatting & Indentation
• Assignee: Unassigned

Description

• Go to Preferences \ Editor \ Formatting \ Java \ Wrapping
• Select Annotations: Never
• Go to a file with a line like

    public @Nullable String middleName;

• Format either the line or the file
• The line becomes split:{{}}

    public @Nullable

    String middleName;

• If the annotation is before public rather than String, then the newline isn't inserted.

This may look minor, but requires having our source not the way we want to, so it's quite annoying.
