IntelliJ IDEA: is there a way to format java code in a canonical way?
I have two java source files. Both represent the same class (semantically), but they were formatted differently.
For example, one of them contains the following line:
return Boolean.valueOf(Boolean.getBoolean("abc"));
While in the second file it looks like 2 lines:
return Boolean.valueOf(
Boolean.getBoolean("abc"));
In both cases, when I apply formatting (Ctrl+Alt+L), these lines do not change.
Is it possible to format them in some canonical way: that is, to get the same code if the only difference is formatting?
Equivalently: is there any way to remove all ignorable whitespace? Such a 'dried-out' program would then be easily restored using 'Reformat code'.

You should be able to do this if you turn off "Wrapping and Braces | Keep when reformatting | Line Breaks" in the Java code style settings.

Thank you both. I also had to put zeros in all 3 'Keep maximum blank lines' fields on 'Blank lines' tab to 'canonicalize' blank lines usage.
