Description

What happened?

The IntelliJ plugin ignores formatter guards (e.g. @Formatter:off/on) even though IntelliJ itself is setup to respect it.

What did you want to happen?

Do not overwrite the formatter guard settings (or at least provide a settings option to respect those).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the IntelliJ plugin with a Java file containing @Formatter:off/on guards, and compare its behavior with IntelliJ's formatter settings. Done means the plugin preserves formatter guards, or provides and documents an option to respect them; the issue names no specific files or tests.
