Question

Answer 1

Go to Eclipse's Preferences → Java → Code Style → Formatter and export the settings to an XML file via the Export All button (or Edit and then Export in dialog that opens up). Then open IntelliJ IDEA Settings → Code Style → Java, click Manage, and import that XML file by simply clicking Import.

As of IntelliJ IDEA 13, there is no possibility to import .settings/.prefs files directly.

Edit: IntelliJ can import the following Eclipse properties:

• General
  • Right margin, Formatter on/off tags
  • Indentation
  • Indent size
  • Usage of ‘Tab’ character
  • Usage of Tab only for leading indentation (Smart Tabs)
  • Indent ‘case’ branches from ‘switch’
  • Indent class members
  • Keep comment at first column
• Spaces (Java)
  • Before/after comma (as set for Eclipse method declaration parameters)
  • After comma in type arguments
  • Within array initializer braces
  • Within brackets (in array reference)
  • Within parentheses of: annotation, ‘for’, ‘if’, ‘catch’ ’while’, ’switch’, method, empty method, parenthesized expression, method call, type cast, ‘synchronized’
  • Before parentheses of: ‘try’, ‘for’, ’while’, ‘switch’, method, ’if’, ‘catch’, method, method call, ‘synchronized’.
  • After type cast
  • Around unary, assignment operators (if it’s set for ‘before’ and ‘after’ in Eclipse).
  • Before opening brace of: array initializer, ‘switch’
  • Before ‘?’ in conditional expression
  • Space before/after ‘:’ in conditional expression
  • Space around binary operators (a single Eclipse setting is mapped to multiple IntelliJ IDEA’s settings)
• Blank lines
  • Around fields and methods
  • Before/after package
  • Before/after imports
  • Before method body
  • Keep blank lines in code (number of empty lines to preserve)
• Wrapping
  • New line before: closing brace in array initializer, ‘else’ in ‘if’ statement, ‘finally’ and ‘catch’ in ‘try’ statement, binary operator (if wrapped)
  • New line after: opening brace in array initializer Special ‘else if’ treatment (compact ‘else if’)
  • Keep simple blocks in one line
  • Keep control statements in one line
  • Alignment of: array initializer expressions, arguments in method declarations and calls, field declarations, extends list, assignments, binary expressions, ‘throws’ clause, resources in ‘try’.
  • Brace style for: code blocks, methods and classes
• JavaDoc
  • Enable JavaDoc formatting
  • Blank lines in JavaDoc

In the latest (2020) IntelliJ IDEA, if you have the "Eclipse interoperability" plugin installed, it's as simple as:

Settings > Editor > Code Style > Java > ⚙️ > Import Scheme > Eclipse XML Profile

Try the Eclipse Code Formatter plugin. It's easy to configure and works well.
