When the block ends, the indent returns to the previous indent level. The indent level applies to both code and comments throughout the block. (See the example in Section 4.1.2, Nonempty blocks: K & R Style.) Each statement is followed by a line break. Java code has a column limit of 100 characters.

Could you get the xml profile in your mentioned plugin? If yes, make sure you have installed Java extension first, VSCode can use a specified Eclipse xml profile as it's formatter profile.

You can check the setting java.format.settings.url. When it's specified, the given formatter profile will be used in VSCode Java formatting.

Another way to use it is to trigger command Java: Open Java formatter settings, and it will help you generate a default formatter profile, you can change the content to what you want.

To directly set "Google Java Style" as "Java's format" on VSCode, please:

1.Install "Extension Pack for Java".

e.g: "Extension Pack for Java v0.9.1" + "Language Support for Java(TM) by Red Hat v0.64.1" for "Java1.8".

Making sure COMPILING, RUNNING and DEBUGGING are successful before "Next Step"!

2.Set the default formatter of Java into "RedHat".

2.1Using hotKeyMap to open the Settings of VSCode, e.g: Ctrl/Cmd + ,

( or Click the logo of VSCode "Code" button and choose "Preference" menu and then click "Setting")

2.2Type "javahome" in the "Search settings" space, then click "Edit in settings.json",

2.3Adding the below code into your "settings.json",

"java.format.settings.url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/styleguide/gh-pages/intellij-java-google-style.xml",
"java.format.settings.profile": "GoogleStyle",
"java.format.settings.imports.onDemand": false,
"java.format.settings.imports.regexp": "^[a-z.]*",
"[java]": {
    "editor.formatOnSave": true,
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "redhat.java",
    "editor.tabSize": 2
}

2.4Then restart the "VSCode", Using shift + alt/option + f to automatic "Java's format" into "Google Java Style".

END!

April 25, 2022 - 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. The existence of these two files is misleading (e.g., the Language Support for Java extension for VS Code still refers to eclipse-java-google-style.xml), and thus they should be removed.
