code,string and comments split across multiple lines

While editing java code in eclipse, may be I pressed some key combo, or something else, but strings, code and comments in my entire file is now split into multiple lines. The newline is inserted at every object property/method.

Ex.:
object.prop1.method1()

has become:

object
   .prop1
   .method1()

What can I do to revert back???

Here is one small screenshot:

Thanx in advance...

If you press Ctrl+Shift+F your code gets formatted. (This must be what you pressed)
The formatter follows certain rules. You can find those rules if you go in Eclipse:

Window->Preferences->Java->Code Style->Formatter

There you must edit the current profile so that you can have more characters per line. This option is in tab

Line Wrapping -> Maximum line width

If you set this value large enough and press again Ctrl+Shift+F everything is going to be restored.

You might have hit the auto formatter with Ctrl + Shift + F. Although the formatting seems strange and would definetly not be the default. Try hitting it again and see what happens.

You can configure the formatter in the preferences under Java=>Code Style=>Formatter

Ctrl+ Shfit + F - the short cut for format.

If have saved and ctrl + z do not work than only a new roll out from repository. If you do not have any then you can change change your format settings and perform operation one more time, but this time on your rules .

To set the format go to: 

Options > Preferences > Java > Code Style > Formatter
