Hi, @CarlPer , it seems a formatter version bug. The formatter version of template in vscode-java is 13. And the current version of eclipse is 21. There are some differences between the two versions so your settings may be ignored. We are trying to add a formatter version updater into the language server, and it will make effect at the next jdt version. Now you can simply replace this setting by <setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.keep_anonymous_type_declaration_on_one_line" value="one_line_if_empty"/> to solve this problem as a workaround.

@rgrunber Yes. https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.jdt.ls/pull/1675/commits/704e50bf09711ebb72f09e91a7c1fef66ffc9d72 uses the utility you mentioned to check if there is any need to update the profile.
