Github user ajs6f commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/jena/pull/101#issuecomment-159009506 As far as the formatting questions, whitespace maybe isn't the best example. For a moe "pungent" case, there are many, many different ways to combine braces, newlines and whitespace through the codebase (maybe an effect of its long history)? Some code uses braces for every control statement, some only when required, some mixed. That sort of thing makes it difficult to read code. I will try to restart this conversation on @dev and try to spur some interest in normalizing on some of these things. There would have to be some change (non-functional formatting commits) but at low cost and I think it worth it.
