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.

r/java on Reddit: Strict Code Formatter
January 5, 2024 -

Is there a strict formatter for Java like go fmt in Golang? I am using Reformat Code in IntelliJ however it does not condense whitespaces for example just reindents code.

What is everyone using generally?

There is spotless which can format your code according to "Google style" or any Eclipse formatting profile. If you want formatting based on IntelliJ settings you are basically out of luck. I am not aware of any available tooling, and for the rest it is a proprietary engine. Further more, IntelliJ has just 1 config file for all formatting rules for all supporter languages. Which is rather problematic. At work we maintain an IntelliJ formatting profile and Eclipse formatting profile which should agree with each other. This also means certain formatting rules are disabled as IntelliJ and Eclipse have no compatible settings for certain rules. For example, nice Javadoc formatting results in conflicting results. So we use a less nice setting. Besides those formatting profiles we use checkstyle to verify the resulting code.

You might or might not like https://github.com/google/google-java-format . Inspired by gofmt, we intentionally made it as unconfigurable as we could. Main criticism: it doesn't handle deeply nested lambdas very amazingly.
