== Disable Eclipse Formatting (partially)

Sometimes, the Eclipse code formatting results in correct but untidy indentation, for example when Java Persistence annotations or long sequences of lined-up assignments are formatted.
You can disable formatting for sections of code.

. Ensure that Off/On Tags are enabled in Eclipse
  . In menu:Eclipse[Window > Preferences > Java > Code Style > Formatter] window press kbd:[Edit...]
  . Click on the __Off/On Tags__ tab
  . Ensure that the __Enable Off/On Tags__ checkbox is checked
. Surround the section of code that you do not want the formatter to act on with comments containing the Off/On tags
