Jody,

I'm not sure what you're saying, but running jalopy (or anything that
mangles the code) isnt a very good idea.

Running Jalopy kills history -- and makes branch-to-branch maintainance
difficult.

I had to waste a good chunk of a day merging changes in
StreamingRenderer.java from 2.1.x to trunk (and back) because someone
ran something that changed almost every line of code in the class.

Chris ran jalopy on something in Geoserver and I just gave up trying to
figure out what had changed (unfortunately his jalopy commit also had
code changes in it).

I'm FIRMLY -1 ; unless someone can argue that those two applications of
jalopy-like stuff will actually save more than a days of someone's time
(+ extra time for how frustrating & futile it is to sort through 10,000
changes).  And this is *just* one java file.  Running it for 3,000
files better save 10 people years!
