“Doubling the indentation to 8 spaces is just downright stupid. What exactly is this trying to solve?

All the other tools mentioned in this thread are usually a hassle to integrate (or not documented) or are not consistently working with IJ's autosave and code format shortcut.\n\n Does jfmt make this better than the others?

Most of the prevailing wisdom about the best way to structure code in the Java community writ large has been (at best) outdated for over a decade, so I'm generally averse to the idea of trying to pin that style in place.",
