(not available in my Emacs -- indent-region, yes, but not indent-buffer)

But I don't think this does what the OP wants.  Emacs indents line by
line, so if the line breaks are gone, or you've got odd lines already
(such as if (x) y = x; else x = y; all on one line) it won't split the
statement and indent the result.  The commonly used indent command has
the same restriction.

That requirement got snipped so it's easy to have missed it.  I wonder
if the suggestion to use NetBeans has the same flaw.
