I support this proposal, but two important considerations must be noted: Developers must use JDK 11 or higher for compilation (this requirement is only for automatic formatting and does not impose a minimum JDK version restriction on users).
Once this plugin is introduced, the pull request (PR) will inevitably cause significant conflicts with all existing PRs. Nevertheless, I still endorse this proposal, just as I had submitted a similar one to the community a few years ago.
