For GNU Classpath we use a slightly adapted GNU style as described at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/docs/hacking.html#SEC7
How to let Emacs help you with that is described at:
http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/ClasspathFirstSteps
Ben Konrath made a standalone version of efj (eclipse formatter for
java) http://www.bagu.org/eclipse/efj/ that includes an eclipse
formatter style file (aptly called GNU) that lets you easily re-indent
things. You can also import this GNU style file into your own eclipse
and use that as the default formatter for your eclipse workspace
projects.
Not saying that Frysk should use that style, it seems completely
different from the one that is used now. But at least there is support
for that style in Emacs and Eclipse.
