IntelliJ google-java-format plugin vs IntelliJ java-google-style.xml - what's the deal? - DEV Community
October 16, 2019 - The plugin comes directly from Google and seems to be a wrapper around the official formatter by Google as there are plugins for other platforms as well. To be as close as possible to the code style, I'd suggest the plugin over the xml. I'm used to using Prettier but it seems they have no Java support currently.

As mentioned Here, Download the intellij-java-google-style.xml file from the This Link.

Then in Intellij, go Under Settings -> Editor -> Code Style. there in Scheme settings (settings icon on right side) -> import schemes-> intellij idea code style xml. Select the xml downloaded in first step. then in Scheme dropdown select the GoogleStyle IDE (newly added style). Click on apply and close.

April 25, 2022 - Both eclipse-java-google-style.xml and intellij-java-google-style.xml were last updated 4 years ago and are effectively obsolete. Google has moved its focus to google-java-format because “Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA weren’t flexible enough to meet all the requirements of the Google Java Style Guide,” as described in google/google-java-format#695.
