Absolutely; fair enough.

The basic rule was that we're following the Sun Java coding conventions
(http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/) except for the number of columns
used. I argued hard for 80 col but was voted down .. we settled at 100,
which was the middle between 80 and 120 ;(. 

Does anyone need more details? If not please conform.

(Old timers: if you remember the thread and can give a ref that maybe
useful.)

If someone volunteers to put this in the Wiki in big bold letters
that'll be great.

Thanks Bill for pushing this to closure!

Sanjiva.
p.s.: Don't take this to mean that only new folks are guilty of
violating the conventions .. everyone is :(. But we need to try to do
better .. and its easier to get folks to get in line as they start
rather than later. Still, if you find offenders please jump on them! (In
a nice warm, fuzzy kinda way ;-))
