Start with the Window->Preferences menu. I like to type "code" into the search box to limit the options. Then follow the steps in the image ** You can format almost everything.
I can't answer why some people would like the return value on a line by itself; I've never met anyone that did.

By default, Eclipse shouldn't be reformatting your code unless you have it do so through the Format command.

However, if you're working with other people's codes and want to format it to your liking it is possible to have Eclipse apply formatting.

You can adjust how this works by locating the Code Style section under the language you are using under the Preferences menu.
