Hi Mark, For a different approach, take a look at jde-jalopy.el at http://home.nc.rr.com/nascifandelaine/emacs.html
It integrates Jalopy, an open-source Java pretty-printer, with JDE. It allows you can customize a lot of different aspects of your code "appearance" (brace positioning, use of spaces and empty lines, etc.) and maximum line length is one. It will reformat the code to satisfy your specifications taking Java syntax into account.
