[FEATURE REQUEST] Java Code Formatter

[debasishbsws]

What would you like to Propose?

The current Clang format linter definitely does its job to identify linting errors in the code.
But I think it will be better if we could have a formatter that we can integrate with CI jobs to auto-formate code if possible.
Therefore, It will be better to have a Java code formatter.

Issue details

Currently, contributors have to format the code manually. though it can a auto fixable

@siriak what is your thought on this?

[siriak]

I think it's a great idea. Having a formatter is better than only having a check.
