+1 for allowing up to 120 character lines.

-1 for reformatting existing lines by requirement

+1 for allowing developers to reformat oddly formatted lines when found during normal editing of files.

Hopefully the link will work better this time. Regarding formatting, I
really don't want to reformat all the source (again). I'd prefer to stick with the Android convention of leaving existing files at 80 (unenforced by
checkstyle), and new files can be 100 or 120 (enforced).

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not trying to prolong this issue, I just
want to at least raise the concern now - before we make the change.

Hi Pinaki,

Before I vote I'd like to know what you propose to do for existing files? Should they be reformatted, left as is with the occasional long line, or
should we preserve history (like Andriod [1])?

I'd also like to propose 100 as the limit (120 makes three way diffs tricky to fit on the screen). David Ezzio suggested 90 in the [DISCUSS] thread so
that might warrant consideration.

Proposal to increase the line width limit to 120 chars from existing 80
chars.

+1 : change it to 120 (or something greater than 80)
-1 : keep it to 80 (or something less than 80)
0  : i do not care




Reason: New API classes/methods have long names and often require multiple
generic parameters with bounds. 80-char line width is hampering
readability
than helping it.
