If we can come up with coding standards, I'd be happy to help with the
formatting.

that in one
place "user" might represent an instance of the User class and
other times
it might represent a Long user id. Without declarative static
typing of Java
it can be confusing figuring out which is which. Just an idea.
We can use some naming convention, e.g. append "Id". But most IDEs
can
infer the type and show it (say, in a tooltip), right?
Regarding code formatting, we must first agree on the formatting
rules
before applying some automatic code formatter. I'm not very happy
with
some automatic formatting, for instance deep indents for multiple
nested method invocations tends to make line width very large
quickly.
Besides, I'm not sure at this point how detailed we want the
formatting instructions to be.
