Another issue I ran into: in MAHOUT-411 my patch unintentionally rearranged whitespaces and I found the reason for that: In some java files (o.a.m.common.AbstractJob and o.a.m.cf.taste.hadoop.item.RecommenderJob for example) there are a couple of blank lines that start with 2 to 4 leading whitespaces, which get removed by Eclipse as soon as you edit the file once.
I can't prevent that these whitespace rearrangements are included in any patches I create, is it ok to have that? Otherwise someone would have to tell me how to make Eclipse not remove them :) -sebastian
