Description

When On Save auto formatting is enabled for Java, nested Java annotations with parameters are incorrectly formatted. An unnecessary newline is given to comma's.

For example:

@JsonSubTypes({ 
    @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Test.class, name = "Test"), 
    @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Test1.class, name = "Test1"), 
    @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Test2.class, name = "Test2"),     
    @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Test3.class, name = "Test3") 
})

Will save as:

@JsonSubTypes({ 
    @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Test.class, name = "Test")
    , 
    @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Test1.class, name = "Test1")
    , 
    @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Test2.class, name = "Test2")
    ,     
    @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = Test3.class, name = "Test3") 
})

In the old NetBeans bug tracker, it appears the issue was marked as resolved in May of 2017 but it is still present in the latest 8.2 release.
