Fixes #49

The command mvn java-formatter:format will apply the formatting to the code using the Eclipse formatting provided.

The latter can be imported directly in Eclipse and there seems to be plugins for other editors, however the point here is that the formatting will be done regardless of which editor is used.

We can discuss / improve / modify the actual formatting choices but at least we'll have a mechanism for enforcing it.

Please review, thanks!

@crawler-commons/owners - any objections to committing this?

Hi Julien - looks good, thanks!

Two things I noticed...

1. We now have doc/eclipse-formatter.properties and doc/eclipse-formatter.xml. I think you can get rid of the .properties version, as that was from when we were using ant (and the ant-eclipse task needed a .properties file to create the Eclipse project)
2. The eclipse-formatter.xml file you provided is for a 1.5-compliant project. E.g. compiler.source=1.5, etc. We're at 1.6 now, and I think if you switch to a 1.6 project, there will be extra settings. So I think using a 1.6-compliant formatting file would be a better starting point.
