But you shouldn't. Never modify any files under $VIMRUNTIME. They
are likely to be overwritten the next time you update Vim to a newer
version. Instead, you should copy the file from $VIMRUNTIME/indent
to ~/.vim/indent on Unix, or to ~/vimfiles/indent on Windows, and
make your modifications to that file. If it's a simple change, you
may be able to put your commands in ~/.vim/after/indent/java.vim or
~/vimfiles/after/indent/java.vim. See
:help ftplugin-overrule
Everything it says there about the ftplugin directory applies to the
indent directory as well. Instead of the b:did_ftplugin variable,
indent plugins use the b:did_indent variable. See
:help 30.3
The Java indent plugin appears to make use of the cindent
functionality. Have you tried changing the value of the }
'cinoptions' flag? See
:help cinoptions-values
and search for "}N".
