Prevent linebreaks with eclipse code formatter

Question

I use the Eclipse formatter with the option on save enabled.

Right now code like this:

 int sum = widgets.stream()
                  .filter(b -> b.getColor() == RED)
                  .mapToInt(b -> b.getWeight())
                  .sum();

will be formatted to:

 int sum = widgets.stream().filter(b -> b.getColor() == RED).mapToInt(b -> b.getWeight())
                  .sum();

is there a setting which will do automated linebreak for everything but cascading function calls?

I think this may be answered here: [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5199255/how-to-disable-auto-formatting-upon-save-in-eclipse](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5199255/how-to-disable-auto-formatting-upon-save-in-eclipse) — DevilCode, Feb 21 '20 at 20:21

Steps to format cascading function calls:

1. Window => Preferences => Java => Code Style => Formatter

2. Click Edit.

3. Expand Line Wrapping => Wrapping Settings => Function Calls

4. Change Qualified invocations to Wrap all elements, except first element if not necessary.

Additionally, ensure Force split, even if line shorter than maximum line width is toggled on.

See image below for what it looks like when set correctly:

5. Change Profile Name if necessary.

6. Apply and close.
