VIM mapping an internal command

I can't figure out how to map an internal command in vim. I want to map to the command :Indent, the action g=GG (indenting the whole document) I did this :

:command Indent execute "g=GG"

And it doesn't seem to work. I successfully mapped 

 :command Java execute ":!javac *.java; echo ' **** done **** ' "

but how do i make it compile only the file that i am working on.

I don't understand the need either. Still, if you want a command, at least let's have it support ranges:

:command! -range=% -nargs=0 Indent <line1>,<line2>normal! ==

gg=G is a normal mode command. You need to use :normal, here:

:command! Indent normal! gg=G

But… :Indent<CR> is much longer than gg=G so I'm not sure that's a good idea.
