I too would love to see this but it does have some severe implications. I also
believe it should be separate to Idea as it should be able to deal with formatting of
any code types, not just Java technologies and XML and would be most useful as a
standalone product.
The main issue would be with formatting changes that change the line numbers upon
which code lies. This means that stack traces from running the code from CVS would
not necessarily correspond to line numbers in a developer's formatted code. Without
making changes that affect line numbering (avoiding the problem), the tool becomes a
lot less useful.
The way I invisage it working is to have a command line tool that performs the
formatting. This could be a tool that appears like CVS (or other versioning tool) and
delegates through to a real versioning product, formatting to local style on update
and formatting to repository style on check in. Alternatively it could be triggered
by the versioning tool's event mechanism where one exists.
The easiest way around the line numbers problem mentioned above would be to keep both
the formatted and unformatted code locally so that the user is able to refer to either.

Please respond to

As it was previously discussed, I'd rather have some kind of "local" and
"group" code styles :
I wish every developer could use its own code style, but when a file is
uploaded onto the file
server or commited (via CVS), a "group" codestyle would be automatically
applied.
This implies each person could use its own codestyle, which would be
automatically applied when
downloading files. Of course, this is not without problems :
- if the developer does not use a "perfect" code style in his file, the
retrieved file after
an upload/download sequence would lead to a different file (this may cause
problems with diff tools)
- CVS diff would be unusable if local style is different of group style
I guess this feature is not a one we'll soon see !
