Added a new preference to force the formatter to try to keep nested expressions on one line.
<p>
This new preference is controlled with the option:</p>
<code>DefaultCodeFormatterConstants.FORMATTER_WRAP_OUTER_EXPRESSIONS_WHEN_NESTED</code>
<pre>
/**
 * FORMATTER / Option to wrap outer expressions in nested expressions
 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.wrap_outer_expressions_when_nested"
 *     - possible values:   { TRUE, FALSE }
 *     - default:           TRUE
 *
 * This option changes the formatter behavior when nested method calls are encountered.
 * Since 3.6, the formatter tries to wrap outermost method calls first to have a better output.
 * For example, let's say we are using the Eclipse built-in profile with a max line width=40+space for tab policy.
 * Then consider the following snippet:
 *
 * public class X01 {
 *     void test() {
 *         foo(bar(1, 2, 3, 4), bar(5, 6, 7, 8));
 *     }
 * }
 *
 * With this new strategy, the formatter will wrap the line earlier, between the arguments of the message call
 * for this example, and then it will allow to keep each nested call on a single line.
 * Hence, the output will be:
 *
 * public class X01 {
 *     void test() {
 *         foo(bar(1, 2, 3, 4),
 *             bar(5, 6, 7, 8));
 *     }
 * }
 *
 * Important notes:
 * 1. This new behavior is automatically activated (i.e. the default value for this preference is {@link #TRUE}).
 *    If the backward compatibility regarding previous versions' formatter behavior (i.e. before 3.6 version) is necessary,
 *    then the preference needs to be set to {@link #FALSE} to retrieve the previous formatter behavior.
 * 2. The new strategy currently only applies to nested method calls, but might be extended to other nested expressions in future versions
 * 
 * @see #TRUE
 * @see #FALSE
 * @since 3.6

<ul>
<li>
Added two new preferences to allow to disable the formatter in a section of the code.
These two preference define respectively the tag which disables the formatting
and the tag which re-enable it.
<p>
These new preferences are controlled with the options:</p>
<code>DefaultCodeFormatterConstants.FORMATTER_DISABLING_TAG</code>
<code>DefaultCodeFormatterConstants.FORMATTER_ENABLING_TAG</code>
<pre>
/**
 * FORMATTER / Option to define the tag to put in a comment to disable the formatting.
 * See the {@link #FORMATTER_ENABLING_TAG} option to re-enable it.
 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.disabling_tag"
 *     - possible values:   String, with constraints mentioned below
 *     - default:           &quot;&quot;
 * 
 * Note that:
 * 
 * 1. The tag name will be trimmed. Hence if it does contain white spaces
 *    at the beginning or at the end, they will not be taken into account while
 *    searching for the tag in the comments
 * 2. If a tag is starting with a letter or digit, then it cannot be leaded by
 *    another letter or digit to be recognized
 *    (<b><i>"ToDisableFormatter"</i></b> will not be recognized as a disabling tag
 *    <b><i>"DisableFormatter"</i></b>, but <b><i>"Re:DisableFormatter"</i></b>
 *    will be detected for either tag <b><i>"DisableFormatter"</i></b> or
 *    <b><i>":DisableFormatter"</i></b>).
 *    Respectively, a tag ending with a letter or digit cannot be followed by a letter
 *    or digit to be recognized (<b><i>"DisableFormatter1"</i></b> will not be
 *    recognized as a disabling tag <b><i>"DisableFormatter"</i></b>, but
 *    <b><i>"DisableFormatter:1"</i></b> will be detected either for tag
 *    <b><i>"DisableFormatter"</i></b> or <b><i>"DisableFormatter:"</i></b>)
 * 3. As soon as the formatter encounters the defined disabling tag, it stops to
 *    format the code from the beginning of the comment including this tag. If it
 *    was already disabled, the tag has no special effect.
 *    For example, the second defined enabling tag &quot;<b>disable-formatter</b>&quot;
 *    in the following snippet is not necessary as the formatter was already disabled
 *    since the first one:
 *     class X {
 *     // disable-formatter
 *     void foo1() {}
 *     // disable-formatter
 *     void foo2() {}
 *     void bar1() {}
 *     void bar2() {}
 *     }
 *
 * 4. If no enabling tag is found by the formatter after the disabling tag, then
 *    the end of the snippet won't be formatted.
 *    For example, when a disabling tag is put at the beginning of the code, then
 *    the entire content of a compilation unit is not formatted:
 *     // disable-formatter
 *     class X {
 *     void foo1() {}
 *     void foo2() {}
 *     void bar1() {}
 *     void bar2() {}
 *     }
 * 
 * 5. If a mix of disabling and enabling tags is done in the same comment, then
 *    the formatter will only take into account the last encountered tag in the
 *    comment.
 *    For example, in the following snippet, the formatter will be disabled after
 *    the comment:
 *     class X {
 *     /*
 *     &nbsp;* This is a comment with a mix of disabling and enabling tags:
 *     &nbsp;*  - <b>disable-formatter</b>
 *     &nbsp;*  - <b>enable-formatter</b>
 *     &nbsp;*  - <b>disable-formatter</b>
 *     &nbsp;* The formatter will stop to format from the beginning of this comment...
 *     &nbsp;*/
 *     void foo() {}
 *     void bar() {}
 *     }
 *

/**
 * FORMATTER / Option to define the tag to put in a comment to re-enable the
 * formatting after it has been disabled (see {@link #FORMATTER_DISABLING_TAG})
 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.enabling_tag"
 *     - possible values:   String, with constraints mentioned below
 *     - default:           &quot;&quot;
 * 
 * Note that:
 * 
 * 1. The tag name will be trimmed. Hence if it does contain white spaces
 *    at the beginning or at the end, they will not be taken into account while
 *    searching for the tag in the comments
 * 2. If a tag is starting with a letter or digit, then it cannot be leaded by
 *    another letter or digit to be recognized
 *    (<b>"ReEnableFormatter"</b> will not be recognized as an enabling tag
 *    <b><i>"EnableFormatter"</i></b>, but <b><i>"Re:EnableFormatter"</i></b>
 *    will be detected for either tag <b><i>"EnableFormatter"</i></b> or
 *    <b><i>":EnableFormatter"</i></b>).
 *    Respectively, a tag ending with a letter or digit cannot be followed by a letter
 *    or digit to be recognized (<b><i>"EnableFormatter1"</i></b> will not be
 *    recognized as an enabling tag <b><i>"EnableFormatter"</i></b>, but
 *    <b><i>"EnableFormatter:1"</i></b> will be detected either for tag
 *    <b><i>"EnableFormatter"</i></b> or <b><i>"EnableFormatter:"</i></b>)
 * 3. As soon as the formatter encounters the defined enabling tag, it re-starts
 *    to format the code just after the comment including this tag. If it was already
 *    active, i.e. already re-enabled or never disabled, the tag has no special effect.
 *    For example, the defined enabling tag &quot;<b>enable-formatter</b>&quot;
 *    in the following snippet is not necessary as the formatter has never been
 *    disabled:
 *     class X {
 *     void foo1() {}
 *     void foo2() {}
 *     // enable-formatter
 *     void bar1() {}
 *     void bar2() {}
 *     }
 * 
 *    Or, in the following other snippet, the second enabling tag is not necessary as
 *    the formatting will have been re-enabled by the first one:
 *     class X {
 *     // disable-formatter
 *     void foo1() {}
 *     void foo2() {}
 *     // enable-formatter
 *     void bar1() {}
 *     // enable-formatter
 *     void bar2() {}
 *     }
 * 
 * 4. If a mix of disabling and enabling tags is done in the same comment, then
 *    the formatter will only take into account the last encountered tag in the
 *    comment.
 *    For example, in the following snippet, the formatter will be re-enabled after
 *    the comment:
 *     // disable-formatter
 *     class X {
 *     /*
 *     &nbsp;* This is a comment with a mix of disabling and enabling tags:
 *     &nbsp;*  - <b>enable-formatter</b>
 *     &nbsp;*  - <b>disable-formatter</b>
 *     &nbsp;*  - <b>enable-formatter</b>
 *     &nbsp;* The formatter will restart to format after this comment...
 *     &nbsp;*/
 *     void foo() {}
 *     void bar() {}
 *     }
 * 
 * 5. The tag cannot include newline character (i.e. '\n') but it can have white spaces.
 *    E.g. "<b>format: on</b>" is a valid enabling tag
 *    In the future, newlines may be used to support multiple enabling tags.
 * 
 * @since 3.6

<p>For example, the following snippet:</p>
<pre>
public class Test {
/* disable-formatter */
void     foo(    )      {	
				//      unformatted       area

void     bar(    )      {	
				//      formatted       area  	  
}
}
</pre>
formatted with disabling tags = &quot;disable-formatter&quot; and enabling tags
= &quot;enable-formatter&quot; produces the following output:

Added two new formatter preferences to condense block and javadoc comments.
<p>
These new preferences are controlled respectively with the options:</p>
<code>DefaultCodeFormatterConstants.FORMATTER_COMMENT_NEW_LINES_AT_BLOCK_BOUNDARIES</code><br>
<code>DefaultCodeFormatterConstants.FORMATTER_COMMENT_NEW_LINES_AT_JAVADOC_BOUNDARIES</code>
<pre>
/**

 */
 </pre>
<p>For example, the following snippet:</p>
<pre>
public class X {
	/*
	 * This block comment after formatting will no longer use a new line
	 * at the beginning and at the end of the comment...
	 */
	void foo() {

	/**
	 * This javadoc comment after formatting will no longer use a new line
	 * at the beginning and at the end of the comment...
	 */
	void bar() {

}
</pre>
formatted with both the options set to FALSE, will produce the following output:
<pre>
public class X {
	/* This block comment after formatting will no longer use a new line at the
	 * beginning and at the end of the comment... */
	void foo() {
	}

	/** This javadoc comment after formatting will no longer use a new line at
