java eclipse formatting (unnecessary white space if condition )

On formatting my code Ctrl + Shift + f This is how my code looks

if (item == null) {}

Is it possible to get it formatted like 

if(item == null) {}

Thanks,

You can configure formatting profiles on Eclipse.

Just go to Eclipse preferences > Java > Code Style > Formatter.

As the other answer specifies (damn it, that was fast!) you'll find the particular option you're looking for on the before opening parenthesis checkbox displayed when selecting control statements > 'if else' on the white space tab on the edit profile dialog.

You can go to Window > Preferences > Java > Code Style > formatter > Edit > and uncheck option "before opening parenthesis".
