Alex raised this issue last week: http://markmail.org/message/z2hzz7efujgmhfnh I didn't see many responses to that particular part of his email, though. Personally, I think arbitrary maxlength at any column width is a PITA - but I spend most of my time looking at XML with prose rather than Java... I'd support a longer line length or keeping the 80 character limit, but I think it should be changed across the board if we change it. (i.e., not just for "some" files.)
