Question

Is there a way to change how auto generated code looks in eclipse?

Currently it generate code like

   int a = something;

But I would really like it do do it like

   int a=something

That is: Without all that extra space. This also goes for functions, where there is an extra space before the ,

I would really prefer f(int a,int b); instead of f(int a, int b);

You can always change the way your code is formatted in your preferences under Java –> Code-Style –> Formatter. Modify the existing styles or just create your own.
There’s also a tab for white spaces. Just uncheck those before/after comma options.
Code already written can be formatted automatically by pressing ctrl + shift + f.
(or cmd + shift + f on a Mac).

Example for methods:

Assignments without spaces:
