I'm looking to find a good source of documentation on the different parameters in the eclipse code formatter. I've found some good examples of specific parameters on stack overflow but can't find any comprehensive parameter list or a list of different spacing options. For example one setting in the Google formatter file is

<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.alignment_for_annotations_on_parameter" value="1040"/>

I've seen values for the alignment of various thing of 16, 48, 80, 81, 1040, and 1585 yet can't seem to find any concrete examples what each of these tries to do. I know 16 is attempting to put everything on one line and 80 does the same but if a line break happens it moves all parameters to their own line.

Any help here would be appreciated.

Currently, vscode-java use Eclipse Formatter style like Google Formatter that you mentioned.

Despite the setting you already know to assign specific value for parameter alignment. There's another setting to control if parameters are wrapped joined in one line or kept in different lines:

<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.continuation_indentation" value="1" />
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.join_wrapped_lines" value="false"/>

Detailed information please view Java formatting: Keep lines but fix indentation.

You may try changing the google_style.xml on your machine to find what you want.
