Java Source Beautifier

I’ve just discovered the Jalopy tool for formatting Java source code. I’ve previously used the pre-commercial version of JIndent but it didn’t allow recursion into directories. Jalopy will recuse through a directory and beautify any file which matches a specified regular expression. What’s exceptional about this is the close integration with ANT so beatifying can become one of the overnight build processes. In addition, each developer can format the code to their own liking using the plug-ins for Netbeans, JBuilder, JEdit, Ecplise etc.
