Milosz Tylenda commented on OPENJPA-779:
----------------------------------------

I think your idea of including code formatting rules is a good one. Maybe such 
a file for IDE or descriptive text could be also added to [1]. Currently that 
page only says that the project adheres to Sun's Code Conventions for the Java 
Programming Language. This is too generic: it does not specify tab handling, 
position of braces, etc. A newcomer has to investigate quite a lot if they want 
their patch to be consistent with the existing code. Even after such 
investigation, one usually makes a few mistakes.
