That's odd.  The default coding style when I'm in java mode in emacs is 
the 'java' coding style which matches the style you are looking for.

Anyhow, to change your coding style you can execute "C-c ." while emacs 
is running.  Hit TAB to view a list of styles.  When you find the one 
you want put the following in your .emacs:

(add-hook 'java-mode (lambda ()
	(c-set-style "java"))

Of course, replace "java" with the style you like best.

But, if you are in java mode then your default style ought to be what 
you desire anyhow.  Are you sure you don't have a mismatched paren or 
brace that might trip up the indentation scheme?
