Export Intellij IDEA code formatting rules to Eclipse

Question

Is there a way to generate a eclipse code formatter xml which matches Intellij IDEA code formatting rules?

Were you able to figure this out? I've got the same issue. I'm now working with a team that uses Eclipse and I need to export our company CodeStyles and Formatting for them to adopt. — mtpultz, Apr 23 '15 at 06:44

If CheckStyle is an option for you, consider using it as 'single source of truth':

I haven't tried it yet.

At the moment there is no way to export IntelliJ code style to eclipse. You need to do it the other way around.

You can also check IntelliJ plugin called "Eclipse Code Formatter" (link), but it the same way, from Eclipse to IntelliJ.

I'm using IntelliJ 14.1.4

Try this:

In IntelliJ, File -> Settings -> Editor -> Code Style -> Java, click the gear icon then Export -> Eclipse XML Profile:
In Eclipse, Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Formatter -> Import; ensure your imported profile is selected as the Active profile and Apply:
