The default eclipse line indent rule, which applies everywhere,
including continuing a method signature, is to indent the continued
line by 2 'levels' compared to the first line of the logical unit. In
other words, using "* " to represent one indent unit:
public class Test {
* public void methodWithLongSig(String x,
* * * String y) {
* * statement;
* }
}
You CAN configure eclipse to outline continued multi-variable
declarations and method signatures vertically, so that both "String"
types in the above snippet are directly adjacent (vertically) to each
other assuming you're using a fixed-width font. But this is not the
default.
