Since issue 53334 is not being fixed I suggest
adding new opption to Java formatting engine :
"Don't add new line before else and catch words"
or something like this that would do the following
formatting:
try
{
  // code
} catch (Exception e)
{
   e.printStackTrace()
}

and

if (true)
{
  // code
} else if (true)
{
   // some more code
} else
{
   // more code
}
