batch code formatters for Java files

[Leon Torres-2]

Hi folks,

I tried using astyle (http://astyle.sf.net) to clean up a Java contribution
recently and it doesn't seem to be comprehensive enough to be used in general.

Does anyone know of a good code formatter or if an official ofbiz Java style
already exists for some program?  I'd like to avoid using Eclipse, unless it can
batch format, save the originals, and show you the diff easily.

The goals are relatively simple, we want the code to conform to an "ofbiz"
style.  Briefly,

public static void method() {
     if (something) {
        doSomething;
     } else {
        doSomethingElse;
     }
}

Where there are 4 spaces per indentation level (no tabs).  Since ofbiz Java can
be quite verbose, we don't want to force a standard column width such as 80.
Control over padding of parentheses is also good, but the above should be
sufficient.
