Google Java Format

Is there a way to setup formatting with Google Java Format? Or an entirely new extension is needed which will run the jar formatter on opened file? If so, what would be the best way to implement this as an extension, e.g running external jar?

I’ve found a solution that works ok.

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/tasks

For that to work make sure java-google-format can be executed from terminal. In my case:

• Installing via brew install google-java-format does the trick.
• Create a tasks.json file in .vscode directory inside your workspace with necessary commands.
• Run from vscode command palette by running task and finding format task

Here’s my tasks.json file:

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "label": "Run google java format",
      "type": "shell",
      "command": "google-java-format --replace ${file}"
    }
  ]
}

Would be nice to have this built into the extension so it can work with “format on save”.
