Once ticked, the autoformatter inserts <p> on the empty line:
/**

* <p>
* Bar
*/
I just checked 2019.1, and it looks like it's unticked by default with the Java Code Styles there, so it must have changed at some point between that version and 2019.3.
huh, so I see now that the settings repo isn't specific to any IJ version. And it looks like the setting we're talking about is already false (the desired behavior) in the repo:

I have a fresh 2020.2 EAP installation from today into which I installed the styles and the checkbox is ticked for me:

Whoops. Forgot to restart to actually get the styles...

<option name="JD_P_AT_EMPTY_LINES" value="false" />So I'm at a loss as to why it's defaulting to true in some cases. Will try to replicate tomorrow.
