Question

How do we configure intellij code style so that when reformating code

instead of this:

we get this: enter image description here

There's a great talk explaining, among other things, why the current style makes more sense than the style that you want to change it to: vimeo.com/97329157 — yole

While working with method chaining (for example builders), you can override the default behavior of intellij idea to align chained methods. This way, in my opinion, the code is much more readable. I think you should consider it as an alternative to your proposed solution.

Settings -> Editor -> Code Style -> Java -> Wrapping and Braces -> Chained Method Calls -> Align when multiline

Great. This becomes more important as java 8 stream often has many chaining methods.
