Hi Gerard, We don’t have such a format file, but it looks a good idea to document the format somewhere. AFAIK, the coding style we’re following is:
1. Over classical SUN Java coding style; 2. 4 spaces instead of a tab; 3. 4 spaces indent; 4. 120 chars width limit in a line, but mostly preferred, 80 chars; 5. Don’t reformat if you don’t change the file; only do it for the part you’re changing; 6. No star(*) in imports. It’s just some loose rules often seen in many ASF projects. In my experience, I keep some typical settings in my IDE (I’m an old Eclipse fun, but now prefer IDEA) and switch among them according to projects.

Is there a current Eclipse copy of configurations (the one I located is waaaay different than the style used). A reference to it’s location would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Gerard --
