Research direction
Start with the Eclipse section of README.md and reproduce the reported behavior using Eclipse's Active profile settings with the google-java-format implementation selected. Document what the formatter configuration and Active profile control, including whether profile changes affect Source / Format, so the README clearly states which profile to choose.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The README states: “The plugin adds a google-java-format formatter implementation that can be configured in Window > Preferences > Java > Code Style > Formatter > Formatter Implementation.”
It is unclear what can be configured exactly, or whether anything can be configured, considering the note in the same file: “There is no configurability as to the formatter's algorithm for formatting. This is a deliberate design decision to unify our code formatting on a single format.”
Relatedly, the role of the Active profile dialog box is not clear.
I just tested changing the number of spaces in the active profile, and this seems to have no effect on Source / Format when the google-java-format implementation is selected.
Please add some explanations about what can be configured and which Active profile should be chosen or indicate if it is supposed to have no effect.
