Use google-java-format

[sfc-gh-mamsterdam]

Problem Statement

Hi,
I understand that you can use java-google-style.xml with nvim-jdtls, but I want to be able to use the google-java-format instead. Google-java-format is more powerful/flexible and formats differently than java-google-style.

I believe this integration, if it's not already implemented, is relatively straightforward, and I believe ALE and coc support it.

Thanks!

Ideas or possible solutions

Implement it or maybe it already exists!

It's not supported by eclipse.jdt.ls (see redhat-developer/vscode-java#663 & redhat-developer/vscode-java#419) but given that it's an executable you should be able to use it with formatprg, see :help formatprg.
