How to indent java code assignment of variables in eclipse

I have this code which I want to indent:

int[] myArray =
    { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 };
    int theInt = 1;
    String someString = "Hello";
    double aDouble = 3.0;

I want the above code to be column indented, like this:

int[]  myArray    = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 };
int    theInt     = 1;
String someString = "Hello";
double aDouble    = 3.0;

I have tried different options in: Windows > Preferences > Java > Code Style > Formatter but I was unable to find the settings for above.

The = should be placed in center with respect to alignment

Thanks for replying.
