I have a method declaration with an annotation that is formatted by Eclipse Mars as follows:

@Override
        void addLoadShiftingConstraints() throws NoSuchDataException {
    //method body
}

I would like to not indent the method declaration:

@Override
void addLoadShiftingConstraints() throws NoSuchDataException {
    //method body
}

Currently I have following formatter setting for the method declaration:

enter image description here Right click on Project =>Properties=>Java Code Style=>Formatter =>Edit active profile => LineWrapping => Method Declaration => Declaration => Wrap where necessary

If I would choose the option Do not wrap instead, the unwanted indent would vanish. However, I would like to keep the wrapping for long declarations.

Is this an Eclipse bug or is there an additional setting for the Annotations that I would have to change in order to avoid the indent?

This is indeed a bug (related). The workaround is to set the setting to "Do not wrap" as you describe or to add an access modifier like private.

(Can't comment due to insufficient reputation, but found this answer through search and it applies to a second situation.)

I faced a similar problem with indentation of local variables, which only took affect when a comment was placed after an annotation. @Stefan's answer worked for this also. 

 @SuppressWarnings("JavaReflectionMemberAccess") // implicit method Enum#valueOf(String)
 Method method = class_.getMethod("valueOf", String.class);

was being reformatted to 

@SuppressWarnings("JavaReflectionMemberAccess") // implicit method Enum#valueOf(String)
        Method method = class_.getMethod("valueOf", String.class);

but was fixed with the addition of a final modifier:

@SuppressWarnings("JavaReflectionMemberAccess") // implicit method Enum#valueOf(String)
final Method method = class_.getMethod("valueOf", String.class);
