Issue setting max line length for PEP8 in Eclipse

eclipse, pep8, pydev, python

Solution

To set the maximum line length, go to:

Window/Preferences/PyDev/Editor/Code Analysis/pep8.py

Then, open the file at `Location of pep8.py`, search for `MAX_LINE_LENGTH` variable and set it to the length you want. You just have to restart Eclipse and that's it! :D

Note: make sure PyDev's options `Do code analysis?` is checked.

Problem

I am using `Eclipse Juno` on an `Ubuntu x64` machine. I would like to change the default max line length for the `PyDev`'s PEP8, but I can't! I go to Window/Preferences/PyDev/Editor/Code Analysis/pep8.py and set the following arguments: ``` --max-line-length=100 ``` What I am doing wrong? After setting this, I have done a code analysis but then the line length seems to be ignored and I don't want this.
