Code formatting tends to be a workspace level thing rather than a per
project setting.
So you are probably better off doing this manually, since its a once off
task.
As others have pointed out, if it is a per-project file (e.g. like a
checkstyle configuration file) then you can use the
<configuration>
<additionalConfig>
<file>
section to specify the files contents.
