Actually, Eclipse has the ability to export a code formatter profile. (Window->Preferences->Java->Code Style->Formatter->Edit->Export). I use Emacs, but Greg, since you use Eclipse, you could export the code formatter you've been using and check it into SVN for the benefit of others. Then, we can make updates to it as needed and always keep the up-to-date code style in SVN. Thoughts? I don't know what you've been using as your maximum line width in your formatter, but I vote for 120 characters. -T
