Resolution: Duplicate
This is a duplicate of DERBY-5896. The changes were made under that issue.
> Change the drda package from tab indentation to spaces
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DERBY-5870
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5870
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Network Server
> Reporter: Kathey Marsden
>
> As a side discussion to DERBY-436 a drda cleanup issue, we discussed changing
> the drda package from using tab indentation to spaces. svn diff, svn merge,
> and svn annotate now provide a -x -b option to ignore whitespace. This
> should mitigate any back-porting issues.
> The tab/space issue is an ongoing irritation, especially for new developers
> and developers working in the network code, toggling between all spaces in
> the client to the tab indentation in the drda package.
> Knut said:
> (I'd probably be in favour of making this change even if the problems with
> merging and annotation weren't solved, though. Backporting may be a little
> painful in the beginning, but the old branches will become less relevant and
> backporting to them will happen less frequently as time passes. The sooner we
> do it, the sooner the pain will go away.
> Perhaps if DRDA goes well, we should do the whole trunk.
