GNU indent doesn't handle Java well, unfortunately (at least, the last time I checked). But I have discovered "astyle" http://www.bigfoot.com/~davidsont/astyle which works relatively well. It has supports the GNU style. Personally, I use the following options, which give preety good results (relatively conform to the GNU style): astyle -jbs2 It has a small glitch; it sometimes adds spurious blank lines, so applying astyle to a file repeatedly adds a block of empty lines. These lines are easily removed by a small program which removes blocks of empty lines [I have written one]. Astyle does't go as far as GNU indent for controling the indentation of code "within" a line of code (e.g. space before parentheses, etc.). But it is much better than nothing! Etienne -- Etienne M.
