About google-java-format

google-java-format rewrites Java source files so they comply with Google Java Style. It is run from the command line as a Java archive and uses the JDK compiler module to parse source code, so formatting is based on the real syntax tree.

Plugins for IntelliJ IDEA and Eclipse are developed in the same repository. It suits Java teams that want consistent formatting without debating style settings, whether run by hand, in an editor or in continuous integration.

Strengths

  • Fixed Google Java Style with no configuration to argue over
  • IntelliJ IDEA and Eclipse plugins
  • Parses code with the JDK compiler

Limitations

  • Requires a Java runtime
  • Style is not configurable beyond Google Java Style
