Description
It would be great if the Xtend Eclipse Editor could be configured to apply the formatting whenever a file is save (like Preferences / Java / Editor / Save Actions / Format source code for Java).
I am not sure if this happens as part of formatting automatically, but it should also be configurable to remove trailing whitespaces as part of this.

Research direction
Start by locating the Xtend Eclipse Editor's formatting preferences and save handling. Determine how format-on-save and trailing-whitespace removal should be configured; done means both behaviors can be enabled as requested and work when an Xtend file is saved.
