I'm using Eclipse Version: 4.2.0 and Build id: I20120608-1400. I have following code in JavaScript.

enter image description here

But when I hit Ctrl + Shift + F, it gives code in following format.

enter image description here

It modifies the code as above. I came to know it is due to <br> tag. But I want <br> tag there. Is it a bug or do I need to manage setting? How can I resolve this problem?

Yes it is a bug. You can find lots of bug reports from here and also here. I guess the first link's attachment solves the problem. The message says:

Created attachment 218897 [details] Fix for JsTranslator.java

In the following method: org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.web.core.javascript.JsTranslator.translateJSNode(IStructuredDocumentRegion)

'generatedContent' is not correctly cleared in the loop.

I have attached a patch.

Do you have Kepler version?
Download this version: eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/…. The file is in eclipse>>plugins>>org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.web.core_1.0.600.v201301301822. Open this file with winrar and navigate to org>>eclipse>>wst>>jsdt>>web>>core>>javascript. The file is there. Just open it apply the solution: bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=218897&action=diff
