Consistent file and code formatting

Challenges

File formatting

A lot of our code files do not end with a new line like the unix standard requests.

Code formatting

I have noticed inconsistencies such as opening braces being on the same line vs different lines.

Suggested fixes

File formatting

Would it make sense to add an .editorconfig file to this project to consistently format files across most popular IDEs? I’m thinking that the following rules will probably be minimally disruptive

root = true

[*]
end_of_line = lf
insert_final_newline = true
indent_style = space
indent_size = 4

Code formatting

Use the IntelliJ formatter across the project to start off. Check for formatting linters to fail PRs if they are inconsistently formatted and have tooling locally that integrates with gradle so people can get early feedback

@MarkusAmshove: What are your thoughts on this? I can turn around a PR pretty quickly if you like this idea. Please let me know.

Sounds like a good plan. I’ll start the setup process. I happen to know both of the contributors and I’ve spoken to them about what’s missing on their PRs. Hopefully, we should have them merged soon.

I’ll keep my PR ready while they are getting theirs merged 😄
