Description

In https://github.com/palantir/palantir-java-format/pull/152 you've disabled the formatting of JavaDoc by hardcoding a "false" value.

Google-Java-Format provides a command-line switch (and API) to enable/disable the formatting of JavaDoc. I would like you to do the same :)

Research direction

Start by reviewing pull request #152 and the code path where JavaDoc formatting is hardcoded to false. Compare Google-Java-Format's command-line switch and API to determine the corresponding option here. Done means callers can enable or disable JavaDoc formatting through both interfaces, with behavior matching the selected option.
