  • What java formatter do you use for formatting source code?
    3 projects | /r/java | 23 Jul 2021
    Coveo is another one that's easier to set up because /drumroll - there are no configurations at all. It uses the google java format which, as /u/dpash pointed out in his response has 2 space indentation and comically short lines. I'm not advocating 300 line lengths or anything, but google's style is very rigid in that regard. I've actually gotten used to the 2 space thing.
