A program that reformats Java source code to comply with Google Java Style, usable from the command line or via an IntelliJ/JetBrains plugin. It deliberately offers no configurability of the formatting algorithm to enforce a single unified style.

Use cases

• format java code to google style
• reformat java source files from the command line
• enforce consistent code style across a java project
• format only changed lines in a patch
• integrate google java style formatting into intellij

When to choose

• your team has adopted Google Java Style and wants automatic enforcement
• you want an opinionated formatter with zero configuration debates
• you need CLI formatting or IDE integration for Java code

When to avoid

• you need customizable formatting rules or a different style guide
• your project uses a JDK older than the minimum required version and you cannot use the native binaries
• you work primarily in languages other than Java
