I've tried indent on Java code. It doesn't look good and gives a lot of irrelevant error messages. A text editor can do indentation, but suppose the indentation of a whole block and its contained blocks changes during the course of development. That looks like manual work to me. What I am looking for is something like jindent javafile that applies standard Java indentation rules. The amount of indentation between levelss should be variable to accomodate different preferences. I prefer an indentation of two spaces, so things don't run off my braille display too much. Google did bring up a lot of choices, but none seemed to be what I want. I also want it to be written in Java and Open Source. And of course a command-line application.
