Put empty statements and declarations on new line

Controls formatting of empty declarations and statements.
Empty declarations and statements are just consist of a single semicolon ; without any real functionality. They are mostly used as code separators or place holders.


Do not put empty statements/declarations on new line will preserve semicolon formatting from input source code:

public abstract class ClassA {          
                                        
    int x=10;                           
                                        
    ;;;;;          // semicolons used as separator
                                        
    public void method(int a) {         
        ;;                              
    }                                   
                                        
    public abstract int getA();;        
}                                       


Put empty statements/declarations on new line:

public abstract class ClassA {          
                                        
    int x=10;                           
                                        
    ;                                   
    ;                                   
    ;                                   
    ;                                   
    ;          // semicolons used as separator
                                        
    public void method(int a) {         
        ;
