Format space between ')' and '{'

Question

in our code we sometimes have this

public class Demo{ public String value(){ if (something){ while(true){ ... } } } } 

I'm currently trying to set up a checkstyle configuration to force developers to have a space before '{':

 public class Demo { public String value() { if (something) { while(true) { ... } } } } 

but I can't get it to work. Does anyone know the correct checkstyle configuration for this particular installation? I want to check this code as part of my gradle assembly
