Hi, Tom, While the tools provide source code formatting that can be configured for the standard coding conventions, the tools have differences in exactly how they format the code. For example, you can define the max line length, but the tools will split long lines differently.
The question is whether it is possible to define "standard" code format configuration files for IDEA and Eclipse that would produce the same result, or at least minimize the differences. This would certainly help maintain the source in a standard format, and reduce the effort to compare/merge changes. - Ann > One thing that I have noticed is that there are some differences between > IDEA and Eclipse in how they format the code, as well as what options that > the tools offer to control code formatting.

I think the point is that while there are differences in the two IDE's, the Axis2 *standard* conventions are easy to configure in both of them. Eclipse vs. IDEA should not be an excuse to check in poorly formatted code. -- Tom Jordahl
