This is also a default for IDEA (again, not checking on eclipse):
public void foo(
int x,
String y
) {
...
}
It is even more lines. I can see arguments for readability on it, though.
Of course, I mean to never ever claim for something as simple as the
one above that this is somehow obviously more readable. Nor do I
think there is anything that is "obviously more" readable. I think
that is a very subjective, and often learned trait. (Which is why I
think so many folks claim that Java is a very "readable" language. If
you've learned it, it is more readable than it appears.)
