How to change brace position in IntelliJ IDE?

I am using the IntelliJ IDEA ide for java coding. By default it produces curly braces on the same line as the function name, like so:

function bla() {
..
}

Can i change it somewhere there so that i will do this instead?:

function bla() 
{
..
}

Thanks!

From the IntelliJ documentation:

Go to the menu File | Settings | Project Settings | Code Style - Java. Select the 'Wrapping and braces' tab. Set 'Braces placement options' to 'Next line'.

I had to go to File > Settings then search for Code Style in IDEA 2016.1. – Steve HHH – 2016-05-19T19:30:35.983

1Preferences > Editor > Code Style > Java is another route, at least in 2016.2. – Flimbus Akimbo – 2016-08-03T19:34:48.343

didn't worked for me (yes, I copied the new style into the Project's) – Yar – 2016-08-12T20:08:56.773

what i want is curly brace at end of function name and then a newline, e.g. function foo(){ \n\n – Toskan – 2016-08-30T07:24:56.997

Is it possible to update existing code with new rules? This worked for me when writing new code, but not any old code. Link

Here is the exact working path. I have added screenshot with explanations.
