Go to "File->Settings (Preferences in OS X)->Editor->Code Style". At the bottom of the right pane there is a section for Editor Config options, which now includes an "Export" button. This will only export formatting options that are available in the Editor Config specification.
To include advanced options from IDEA you will have to save IntelliJ specific files with the project.
If you want to do this without saving the entire ".idea" folder and "*.iml" files, you can also export the IDEA configuration to an xml file and save in a place where everyone can get to it.
- In "File->Settings->Editor->Code Style". At the top of the right pane, there will be a "Scheme" field with an dropdown of options.
- Next to the dropdown is a cog/gear image that will expand to give some options depending on which scheme you have selected.
- The two options you need are the "Export..." option and the "Import Scheme" options which do what their names imply.

Formatting Code
Changing the formatting of code in Eclipse to match the formatting used in IntelliJ IDEA can be done by configuring the code style settings in Eclipse to match those of IntelliJ IDEA. Here are the general steps to achieve this: **Install a Formatter Plugin (Optional):** - There are some Eclipse plugins available that can help you format your code according to IntelliJ IDEA's style. One such plugin is the "Eclipse Code Formatter" plugin, which can be found in the Eclipse Marketplace. **Configure Eclipse Code Formatter:** - If you've installed the Eclipse Code Formatter plugin or a similar tool, configure it to use the IntelliJ IDEA code style. - In Eclipse, go to `Window` > `Preferences`. - Expand `Java` > `Code Style` in the left-hand menu. - Click on `Formatter`. - You can create a new profile or edit an existing one. - In the Formatter Profile window, you can define your formatting preferences to match IntelliJ IDEA's style. This may include settings like indentation, brace placement, and more. **Import IntelliJ IDEA Code Style Settings:** - If you have access to IntelliJ IDEA, you can export its code style settings and import them into Eclipse. - In IntelliJ IDEA, go to `File` > `Settings` (or `IntelliJ IDEA` > `Preferences` on macOS). - In the settings dialog, navigate to `Editor` > `Code Style`. - Select your desired code style (e.g., Java) and customize it if needed. - Click the "Export" button to save the code style settings to an XML file. **Import IntelliJ IDEA Code Style into Eclipse:** - Back in Eclipse, under `Window` > `Preferences`, expand `Java` > `Code Style`. - Click on `Formatter`. - In the Formatter Profile window, click the "Import" button. - Browse to the XML file you exported from IntelliJ IDEA and import it. **Apply the IntelliJ IDEA Code Style:** - After importing the settings, you can apply the IntelliJ IDEA code style to your Java files. - Select the Java file(s) you want to format or use it globally for all files. - Right-click on the selected file(s) or folder and choose `Source` > `Format`. **Save the Preferences:** - To make sure your settings are saved, click "Apply" and then "OK" in the Preferences dialog. Keep in mind that Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA may have some differences in their code formatting options, so achieving an exact match may not always be possible. You may need to make some manual adjustments or compromises to get as close as possible to your desired code style. Additionally, you may need to install additional plugins or extensions in Eclipse to fully match the IntelliJ IDEA experience, as some features may not be available out of the box. More on reddit.com

Code style and formatting | IntelliJ IDEA Documentation
February 11, 2024 - IntelliJ IDEA offers two ways of defining code style rules. You can use code style schemes: groups of settings that you can configure using the IDE interface, export, and share with other members of your team.

Code Style settings export options : IDEA-149529
Current export functionality for Code Styles is lacking. Only useful for other users of IntelliJ or as a backup. Only exports the diff between user defined settings and the built-in default. This makes it very difficult to produce a matching style for other formatting/beautification tools.

August 17, 2026 - If you want to use the project code style scheme as your default scheme, you can copy it to the IDE level. The other way around is also possible: you can overwrite your current project settings with the settings from an IDE-level scheme and share them with other members of your team. IntelliJ IDEA lets you configure line separator and indentation options for various languages.

If CheckStyle is an option for you, consider using it as 'single source of truth':
- create CheckStyle config
- install CheckStyle plugins in both Eclipse and IDEA
- import formatter configs from CheckStyle config

At the moment there is no way to export IntelliJ code style to eclipse. You need to do it the other way around.
You can also check IntelliJ plugin called "Eclipse Code Formatter" (link), but it the same way, from Eclipse to IntelliJ.
