Here's the complete procedure to auto-indent a file with Netbeans 8.

First step is to go to Tools -> Options and click on Editor button and Formatting tab as it is shown on the following image.

When you have set your formatting options, click the Apply button and OK. Note that my example is with C++ language, but this also apply for Java as well.

The second step is to CTRL + A on the file where you want to apply your new formatting setting. Then, ALT + SHIFT + F or click on the menu Source -> Format.
