Hi,

We discussed recently about using the eclipse tool to clean up the code to
decrease our number of checkstyle errors/warnings.

Gilles now you have committed your changes, could we agree on a day where
we could make sure we have no pending changes so that one of us can run the
tool and commit the cleaned up code without needing a merge?

Before we should apply the patch from Stephane:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-518

On my side I have no pending changes, so any day is ok. I'm ok to apply
the patch and run the clean up tool, I will have time to do it next week. If
anybody else prefer to do it, I'd be happy to oblige :-)

We also have to agree on maximum line length, is 100 (the current setting
of checkstyle, borrowed from Ant) ok for everybody?


One more thing: I think it will be a good opportunity to fix our eol
inconsistencies: using fixcrlf + applying svn:eol-style property.
Committers, maybe we should use the Apache settings for svn, to auto apply
eol-style:
http://www.apache.org/dev/svn-eol-style.txt
