The eclipse code formatter (org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCodeFormatter) can be run from the command line. It would be great if there's a way to organize the java imports from the command line as well. More specifically, these settings:

should also be available in the code formatting tool such that they are enforced when the code formatting is executed from the command line.
