I think you misunderstood me, I don't care about line length. If you want it 120 then that is fine, 80 is an old habit from Flex/Flash days.
I cannot stand 200+ characters since Eclipse does not have the ability to wrap, stupid editor. It's like IMHO, I only have so much time to work on this, so for me reading a book that has the same formatting everywhere I can scan very fast. When braces and other things are inconsistent, it takes me twice as long to scan the huge amount of code I am trying to digest. Fred, just commit your updated xml formatter file I sent you and I will load it and we can agree on a time/date to reformat the two projects using it.
