Hello all, I need a pointer in the right direction here.
I believe the simplest way to enable people to provide patches in the correct format is to provide a clear, simple way to integrate code checks and formatting assistance into their IDEs. http://mojo.codehaus.org/development/guidelines.html is rather loosely held; while it points to the maven codestyle on (http://maven.apache.org/developers/committer-environment.html#Maven_Code_Style) this codestyle is not what is used by the project I am currently working on. There is simply some formatting conventions I observe in use which are not defined within the Maven_Code_Style - at least for the IDEA development environment. Therefore - a) Where is our source formatting specification (checkstyle, Eclipse/IDEA/xxx code formatting specification)? b) Does passing the checkstyle imply all code is properly formatted (i.e. is the error/warning/info levels set correctly on all checks?) c) Do we have a step-by-step introduction to how the IDE should be set up for people to contribute patches? (Otherwise we need to provide one) // Bästa hälsningar, // [sw. "Best regards" // // Lennart Jörelid
