These are the cxf and camel formatters:

https://github.com/apache/camel/tree/master/etc/eclipse
I have not checked the camel ones in details. They might be similar or
the same as the cxf ones.
There are some things I do not like for the cxf formatting though:
- The import order is not the default and will be enforced by the build.
So organizing imports with Ctrl-Shift-O messes up the order unless you
have I think the cleanup rules installed. I think there is not good
reason to not use the default order.
- I do not like the indent rules for parameters like
public void myMethod(String first,
String second) {
someCode(first,
second);
}
- The parameters are often very far to the right if you use long method
names.
- Each method has a different indent for the parameters.
- When you change a method name the indent is changed.
I would prefer something like this below but have not yet seen such a
formatter rule.
public void myMethod(
String first, String second)
{
someCode(
first, second);
alternatively(
first,
second);
}
This is discussed in a presentation by Kevlin Henney
https://vimeo.com/97329157 (See from minute 24).
Basically the idea is that there should be as few levels of indent as
possible and the indent should not change when e.g. a method name is
changed.
