We (committers at least, with contributors would even be better) could decide 
to use the same formatter.

This would helps when merging from custom projects or backporting to them...

I tried this once by sharing my Eclipse formatter at 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpageattachments.action?pageId=7766027

So we could decide on our own rules and get more legible and consistent 
formatting

Now that more people use InteliJ we could start from an Eclipse formatter

https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2014/01/intellij-idea-13-importing-code-formatter-settings-from-eclipse/
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6546-eclipse-code-formatter

It seems there is no other way around

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29226589/export-intellij-idea-code-formatting-rules-to-eclipse

Maybe ultimately using CheckStyle as suggested? I remember being rebuffed a 
decade abo when I suggested to use Findbugs...

I'm not strongly opinionated about that, but when I think about external 
mergings...

I think this is just a formatting change becaused I used our formatter for

Not really something worth a discussion, is it?

Hi All,

I find this ambiguous. We have few options here:

1)
                for (int i = 0; i < modelField.length; i++)
                    sb.append(PAD_CHAR);

                data = sb.toString();

2)
                for (int i = 0; i < modelField.length; i++) {
                    sb.append(PAD_CHAR);
                }
                data = sb.toString();

3)
                for (int i = 0; i < modelField.length; i++) sb.append(PAD_CHAR);
                data = sb.toString();

4)
                for (int i = 0; i < modelField.length; i++) sb.append(PAD_CHAR);

                data = sb.toString();

Which one do you prefer? Of course this should be a general rule, not only for 
this case!

Thanks

Jacques
