How to remove redundant spaces in Eclipse?

I found this line of code in my program:

        inPorts.put(myInPort,  new HashMap<String, Object>().put(otherOutPort,  otherDevice));

where in front there are to tabs, that's ok, but after the comma and before the word new there are two spaces by accident. And before the word otherDevice there are also two spaces.

Is it possible to remove one space (in this case) automatically?

As an aside in Java 9 onwards you can use `Map.of` instead of `new HashMap().put` – greg-449 Jan 16 '22 at 11:20
`⌘` `SHIFT` `F` is not what I am searching for. My code will be reformatted automatically when I save it. I am looking for a setting where I can remove redundant spaces. – Christoph S. Jan 16 '22 at 11:20

I don't know of any setting that just removes extra spaces immediately. – greg-449 Jan 16 '22 at 11:20
Needn't be "immediately". It's fine when it will remove them on file save or `⌘` `SHIFT` `F` – Christoph S. Jan 16 '22 at 11:22
@greg-449 Thank you, but I use Java 8 – Christoph S. Jan 16 '22 at 11:49
