Description Joris Kinable CLA 2016-09-05 22:01:31 EDT 
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:
http://help.eclipse.org/neon/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jdt.doc.user%2Freference%2Fpreferences%2Fjava%2Fcodestyle%2Fref-preferences-organize-imports.htm

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