Can the Eclipse Java formatter be used stand-alone

Question

Is there a way to use the formatter that comes with eclipse, outside of eclipse? I would like to format some java files using my formatter.xml file that I have configured u

Answer 1

Never tried to pull something like that off, but I remember seeing once a class called:

org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.CodeFormatterApplication

Perhaps that is some standalone entry point into the formatting mechanism, though I've never tried or investigated further.
