Creating custom formatter for Java

• google-java-format

  Reformats Java source code to comply with Google Java Style.

  

I spent most of my development career writing simple CRUD applications, recently I read a fascinating article: http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2015/09/08/the-hardest-program-ive-ever-written/. It looks like a nice challenge to try creating such a tool. For sure I need first to understand how to build AST etc. I could reuse existing solutions like https://github.com/google/google-java-format, or eclipse fmt, but I would like to understand the whole process, to be able to debug all cases.
