Research direction

The issue mentions the Eclipse plugin and the --skip-reflowing-long-strings and --skip-javadoc-formatting options; start by tracing how Eclipse plugin formatter options are exposed and passed to google-java-format. Done means both options can be configured through the plugin and are honored when formatting Java code.
