How to configure Eclipse to format all java code except Strings declaration?

How to configure Eclipse to format all java code except Strings declaration?

Example:

Before Ctrl+I:

    String sql = 
        "Select column " + 
        "from   table  " +
        " where column1 > 0 AND column2 < 0";

After Ctrl+I:

    String sql = "Select column " + "from   table  "
            + " where column1 > 0 AND column2 < 0";

Thank you!

edit:

Has any way to configure using Formatter preferences (Window > Preferences > Java > Code Style > Formatter)?

You can enable the @formatter:on and @formatter:off tags in the formatter preferences:

// @formatter:off
String s = "..." + 
           "..." ...
// @formatter:on

You could use // to prevent the formatting like this:

String sql = //
        "Select column " + //
        "from   table  " + //
        " where column1 > 0 AND column2 < 0";

That's not very nice but works in every case (i.e. when your coworkers don't use exactly the same settings in Eclipse).
