Would like similar capability as:

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion but we don't have a great deal of time to spend on this project and we don't have a need for such a feature in Spring's own projects, I don't think we'll be able to do this.

I'm also keen to keep the project as simple as possible without adding too many configuration options.

Thanks anyway for the suggestion.

@mmadson You may be interested to know that this capability is already available when using Gradle. It's built into Gradle's SourceTask that the formatting tasks extend.

Very handy thank you @wilkinsona though we currently use maven directly to build so I suspect we'll likely just switch to google-java-format for now. That said for future projects where gradle is an option, will definitely keep this in mind. Much appreciated.
