Allow passing the formatJavadoc flag to Google Java Formatter #614
Description
Back in November, the Google Java Formatter was updated to support turning off formatting of javadocs. This is particularly useful functionality with newer javadoc trends as well as older codebases that include heterogenous license headers.
Here is the PR that added the functionality: google/google-java-format#418

Is there a workaround/hack for this? We can't adopt the Google formatter without this, as it unnecessarily changes the Javadoc in our entire codebase.

The PR referenced above (#193) is a very similar situation. To my knowledge, no workaround besides a PR.

Is it possible to support a generic way to pass options so that users aren't blocked every time a new option is added?

Maybe! PR's welcome :)
