As a beginner in programming, you should really better start with a 
lower hanging fruit. If you have done this in other languages before, 
and are just a beginner in Java, good luck. 

Still, if you're new to programming, you will probably quite quickly see 
that this is not as trivial as you thought it was - if you want to do it 
right that is.
Properly formating Java code involves first parsing the code into an 
AST, an abstract syntax tree, and then exporting the AST to text using 
your own formatting-rules for indentation, spaces, line breaks, etc.
You wil probably quite quickly hit the first problem with simple 
mathematic expressions, lika a=(b+c)*t, let alone making a distinction 
with string-concatenation and variables and method calls within those.

Kind regards,
