Formatting java source code

Hi,
I am trying to get a source code formatter. What i am precisely looking
for is something like a command line utility which converts/ formats all
java files under one directory. JALOPY has some formatting stuff but is
anyone aware of / can point to me to some location where we can get some
command line utility to format java source code?

By formatting i meant fragments like placing opening braces in the same
line as if, etc.
Thanks
Kannan

For checking source code format you can use Checkstyle [1]. Jalopy also
supports code formatting from command line [2] or Ant task [3].

[2] http://jalopy.sourceforge.net/plugin-console.html
[3] http://jalopy.sourceforge.net/plugin-ant.html

Greetings
Daniel
