I think that it is doing too much, e.g. aligning like this:
this.processor = null;
this.parser = null;
We should start with very simple stuff, e.g. just tabs
and trailing whitespace, then gradually add other operations.
However we don't want to get too strict on code style.
I suggest that we define a list of what we would possibly
want to adrress. Here is a start:
1 whitespace at end-of-line
2 tabs to four-space
3 indentation
4 organise imports
5 whitespace in java statements
6 aligned variable assignments
We need to at least do 1 and 2 while 5 and 6
may be doubtful.
