Eclipse Code Formatter
Configuring the CodingStandards by hand is an annoying task. Fortunately there is a plugin to import Eclipse code formatting rules into Intellij IDEA: Eclipse Code Formatter. It is available in the plugin repository.
The Eclipse Code Styles file is attached to the CodingStandards page.
Eclipse Code Formatter can be configured under Settings (shortcut: ctrl + alt + s) --> Eclipse Code Formatter
