Change Eclipse formatting of one-line if statements

So when I use shift+ctrl+f to reorganize a class I have the following happen to my one-line if statements

if (true) doThis();

changed to

if (true)
    doThis();

How can I make shift+ctrl+f auto organize to be like the first statement?

  3. Go to Java - Code Style - Formatter
  4. In Active Profile : Eclipse [built-in] choose Edit
  5. Go to Control Statements tab
  6. Check keep 'then' statement on same line
  7. Change your Profile name

After some more exploring it seems I can change it.

  1. Open preferences in Eclipse
  2. Expand Java
  3. Expand Code Style
  4. Click Formatter
  5. Click Edit
  6. Open Tab Control Statement
  7. Adjust "Keep 'then' statement on line

  1. Go to Window > Preferences (Windows/Linux) or Eclipse > Preferences (OS X).
  2. Go to Java > Code Style > Formatter.
  3. Create your own code formatter if you haven't already.
  4. Go to Control Statements.
  5. Check the check box that says "Keep simple 'if' on one line."
  6. Hit OK.

Rather than use CTRL + SHIFT + f, you might try using CTRL + I (as in Ireland) It doesn't actually reformat the code, but does fix all indents and whitespaces, so it won't affect one line if statements.
