Sounds like you are talking about Meta-Control-Q (in C++ mode but
probably in Java mode as well).
Use it when you are sitting on top of, for example, an open curly
brace for a function. Emacs will then reformat the whole function.
I would also suggest doing "apropos" (usually hooked to Control-H a)
c-indent
There is a whole bunch of ways to do it. I find some of them work
better than others (at least in older emacs versions)
Just in case you don't know... If you find a function that you like
and want to see if it is connected to a key, do C-h, w. You will be
prompted for the function in the mini-buffer. When you complete it
and hit return, it will tell you all the places you can get to that
function.
