Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by surveying the Spotless repository to locate Java formatting or plugin integration points, then determine which categories of syntactic sugar are in scope. Done should mean the agreed simplifications are applied automatically with coverage for representative Java examples.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Many constructions in Java can be simplified with syntactic sugar. For example,
foo.ifPresent(value -> value.someMethod());
can be simplified to
foo.ifPresent(Foo::someMethod);
Also,
foo.methodWithCallback(new Foo.Callback() {
@Override
public void
onDone(int result) {
...
}
});
can be simplified to
foo.methodWithCallback(result -> ...);
It would be really helpful to have a plugin that could auto-apply all such simplifications.
