A Prettier plugin that adds opinionated code formatting support for the Java language. It parses Java source code and reprints it with consistent style rules, taking maximum line length into account.

Use cases

• format java code with prettier
• enforce consistent java code style across a codebase
• auto-format java files on save in my editor
• stop debating formatting in code reviews for java projects
• run prettier on java files from the command line
• integrate java formatting into gradle or maven builds via spotless

When to choose

• you want an opinionated, zero-configuration formatter for Java similar to Prettier for JavaScript
• your team wants consistent formatting enforced automatically on save or in CI
• you already use Prettier in a polyglot project and want Java covered too

When to avoid

• you need highly configurable formatting rules rather than an opinionated style
• you prefer formatters native to the Java ecosystem like google-java-format or Eclipse formatter
• your project cannot use Node.js-based tooling
