Java 8: Formatting lambda with newlines and indentation

Question

What I would like to achieve with lambda indentation is the following:

Multi-line statement:

String[] ppl = new String[] { "Karen (F)", "Kevin (M)", "Lee (M)", "Joan (F)", "Des (M)", "Rick (M)" };
List<String> strings = Arrays.stream(ppl)
                         .filter(
                             (x) -> 
                             {
                                 return x.contains("(M)");
                             }
                         ).collect(Collectors.toList());
strings.stream().forEach(System.out::println);

Single-line statement:

List<String> strings = Arrays.stream(ppl)
                         .map((x) -> x.toUpperCase())
                         .filter((x) -> x.contains("(M)"))
                         .collect(Collectors.toList());

Currently, Eclipse is auto-formatting to the following:

Multi-line statement:

String[] ppl = new String[] { "Karen (F)", "Kevin (M)", "Lee (M)", "Joan (F)", "Des (M)", "Rick (M)" };
List<String> strings = Arrays.stream(ppl).filter((x) ->
{
    return x.contains("(M)");
}).collect(Collectors.toList());
strings.stream().forEach(System.out::println);

Single-line statement:

String[] ppl = new String[] { "Karen (F)", "Kevin (M)", "Lee (M)", "Joan (F)", "Des(M)", "Rick (M)" };
List<String> strings = Arrays.stream(ppl).map((x) -> x.toUpperCase())
        .filter((x) -> x.contains("(M)")).collect(Collectors.toList());
strings.stream().forEach(System.out::println);

And I find this really messy, because of how the collect call is directly underneath the return and there's no space inbetween at all. I would prefer it if I could start the lambda in a new line indented, and so that the .filter( call would be right above the .collect( call. However, the only thing that can be customized with standard Java-8 Eclipse Formatter is the brace at the start of the lambda body, but nothing for the () brackets beforehand, nor the indentation.

And in the case of single-line calls, it just uses the basic line-wrap and makes it be a chained mess. I don't think I need to explain why this is hard to decrypt afterwards.

Is there any way to somehow customize the formatting more and achieve the first formatting type in Eclipse? (Or, optionally, in another IDE like IntelliJ IDEA.)

EDIT: The closest I could get was with IntelliJ IDEA 13 Community Edition (read: free edition :P) which was the following (defined by continuous indentation which in this case is 8):

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int[] x = new int[] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7};
    int sum = Arrays.stream(x)
            .map((n) -> n * 5)
            .filter((n) -> {
                System.out.println("Filtering: " + n);
                return n % 3 != 0;
            })
            .reduce(0, Integer::sum);

    List<Integer> list = Arrays.stream(x)
            .filter((n) -> n % 2 == 0)
            .map((n) -> n * 4)
            .boxed()
            .collect(Collectors.toList());
    list.forEach(System.out::println);
    System.out.println(sum);    

It also allows to "align" the chained method invocation like this:

    int sum = Arrays.stream(x)
                    .map((n) -> n * 5)
                    .filter((n) -> {
                        System.out.println("Filtering: " + n);
                        return n % 3 != 0;
                    })
                    .reduce(0, Integer::sum);


    List<Integer> list = Arrays.stream(x)
                               .filter((n) -> n % 2 == 0)
                               .map((n) -> n * 4)
                               .boxed()
                               .collect(Collectors.toList());
    list.forEach(System.out::println);
    System.out.println(sum);
}

I personally find that while it makes more sense, the second version pushes it far too away, so I prefer the first one.

The setup responsible for the first setup is the following:

  </codeStyleSettings>
</code_scheme>

I tried to make sure everything is reasonable, but I might have messed something up, so it might need minor adjustments.

If you're Hungarian like me and you're using a Hungarian layout, then this keymap might be of use to you, so that you don't end up not being able to use AltGR+F, AltGR+G, AltGR+B, AltGR+N and AltGR+M (which correspond to Ctrl+Alt).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<keymap version="1" name="Default copy" parent="$default">
  <action id="ExtractMethod">
    <keyboard-shortcut first-keystroke="shift control M" />
  </action>
  <action id="GotoImplementation">
    <mouse-shortcut keystroke="control alt button1" />
  </action>
  <action id="GotoLine">
    <keyboard-shortcut first-keystroke="shift control G" />
  </action>
  <action id="Inline">
    <keyboard-shortcut first-keystroke="shift control O" />
  </action>
  <action id="IntroduceField">
    <keyboard-shortcut first-keystroke="shift control D" />
  </action>
  <action id="Mvc.RunTarget">
    <keyboard-shortcut first-keystroke="shift control P" />
  </action>
  <action id="StructuralSearchPlugin.StructuralReplaceAction" />
  <action id="Synchronize">
    <keyboard-shortcut first-keystroke="shift control Y" />
  </action>
</keymap>

While IntelliJ doesn't seem to provide a way to put the opening brace of the lambda in a new line, otherwise it's a fairly reasonable way of formatting, so I'll mark this as accepted.

In Eclipse, for the single-line statements:

In your project or global preferences, go to Java -> Code Style -> Formatter -> Edit -> Line Wrapping -> Function Calls -> Qualified Invocations, set Wrap all elements, except first if not necessary and tick Force split, even if line shorter than maximum line width.
