You can let emacs reformat files automatically with the attached
emacs lisp.
Put the attached code in your .emacs file, run something like
'emacs *.java' or 'emacs `find . -name "*.java"`', go have a beer
or 6, then come back and close emacs. Then remove the previously
added code from your .emacs file.
We used this to change our code from 4 to 8 space indentation, and
to remove all tab-characters from the indentation (e.g. spaces only)
