Enforce code style and format as part of the build process #343
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Its desirable for the code to have single style / format e,g, indentation, import policy and going forward this makes reviewing PR easier.
This should apply to java code but also maven poms.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add spotless plugin to the pom such that maven validate will fail if any files break the rules
Configure with eclipse engine formatter rules (so we can adjust)
This plugin support fixing the code
Amend README to explain how to config the same rules in the IDE
Describe alternatives you've considered
spotless with default google rules - this is not configurable at all
checkstyle plugin - but this doesn't support xml files or provide a goal for fixing
