In December 2024, I contacted Carter (ckozak) about the status of the
Palantir Formatter and received a reply within 24 hours. Both emails had
you in Cc: did they not reach you?

To summarize: the Palantir Formatter is still actively maintained. If
there’s an issue with a specific ticket, a quick ping to Carter will get
the maintainers’ attention.

Given that, I don’t see a strong reason to switch formatters. While the
Eclipse formatter is a powerful tool, it comes with so many configurable
options that agreeing on a standard could take months. In a previous
job, we spent four months reviewing formatting configurations, only to
end up adding comments to bypass rules we didn’t like (e.g., aligned
field initializers).

PS: The Eclipse formatter is also supported by Spotless and relies on
the Eclipse artifacts published to Maven Central, so there’s no need to
deal with P2 repositories.
