My Target Code Format: 

 name: <input type="text" value="${event.name}" name="name" /> 
 <br /> 
  description: 
 <input type="text" value="${event.description}"    name="description" /> 
 <br />
  eventDate:

In eclipse:

  • for Windows Open Window Menu -> choose Preferences
  • for Mac Open EclipceMenu -> choose Preferences

From the Preferences Window choose Web => HTML Files => Editor

From the Inline Elements: view, add all tags that you want appear in one line

Now whenever you press CTRL+SHIFT+F, the JSP will be formatted to your new style

Maybe you can try this: Window -> Preference -> Web -> HTML Files ->Editor -> Formatting : change the "Line width" to 200 or larger

No you can't simply format jsp(html & jsp scriplets) pages using ctrl+shift+f, if you use that keys it will make your code change the syntax, for example: 

{
    String error = request.getAttribute("error") != null ? (String) request.getAttribute("error"): "";%>
}

this code will change it to 

{
    String error = request.getAttribute("error") != null ? (String) request.getAttribute("error") : "";%> 
},

after using the keys again you have to manually align this scriplets

Increase the line widths and format the jsp page using ctrl+shift+F.

you can use CTL+SHIFT+F in eclipse but make sure you have opened jsp in jsp editor.

if not then go to Eclipse - window - preferences - general - editors - File Associations

and select file type as *.jsp and set JSP Editor as default
