Generally we've just been following the usual Apache / Jakarta coding style
and guidelines. We tend to try follow Sun's guidelines...

http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/

When I moved from C++ over to Java many years ago now, I brought with it my
own coding style from (gulp) about 10-12 years of doing C++. However a few
years ago I took the leap and adopted Sun's style instead, just because most
other source code is like that (in Sun and Jakarta at least).

In addition I tend to prefer no tabs and 4 character indents just for
consistency (its a 1 key stroke to enforce this in Forte ;-) just so the
code is indented nicely on everyones screens.

James
