The result of this thread: let's care only about white spaces.
So now we need a policy. Here is my proposal:
For all text files - Replace all tabs with spaces. - No trailing whitespace. - No M$-DOS line endings. - Newline at end-of-file. - Single whitespace between words.
For cvs/**.java - Use 4-space indentation.
For cvs/**.xml|xmap|xconf etc.
- Use 2-space indentation.
- No whitespace at start-of-file.
All of the above is either common sense or even more (like the last one: XML won't be XML if starts with whitespace (see spec)), and should be enforced as soon as you find an issue.
- No whitespace at end-of-file.
Newline should be ok, right?
