Bill, The same IDE that lets you find things easily, lets you reformat the code to sun convention too and we have some additional stuff on top of that which is also usually configurable. Definitely, there is no excuse for not following the conventions. Yes, if you see something wrong in someone's checkin not following the convention, you have to let them know immediately. Please don't wait 3 months and say there were 100 commits that did not follow the convention :)

This is not negotiable- we have agreed on conventions and everyone should follow them. Why is that so hard? Its good for everyone and its a simple thing to do. We didn't pick the conventions I liked either but it doesn't matter .. that's what was decided on for the project and we must follow them. > I completely agree.

Fair enough. Let's wait till we have some numbers .. if there's no adverse impact then great.
