I agree, but you're missing an extremely critical point: the Sun style is publicly documented on the web. Am I to guess what the rules are for the JPMC coding style used on this code? Without a document somewhere either in the project itself or on the wiki that explains exactly what the rules are for the style we're using, we might as well have no coding style whatsoever.
Yes, we do have a detailed document which I will put on the wiki this week. We should have made this available earlier.
Also, assuming we're not changing the current style, I'd like to have not only that document that explains the style rules, but I'd like to put together and enforce checkstyle rules to ensure consistency across the Java codebase, just as Alan's trying to do in the C++ code.
Absolutely I 100% agree we should enforce the rules - when anyone joins my team they get a copy of the standards document to read and are expected to abide by it. We can also make the code formatting rule files for the popular IDEs available for download. RG
