Unless the code is very badly formatted, I'm not sure it's worth the extra effort. I'm still finding mangled (badly wrapped) comments in code that was reformatted years ago. However, I would recommend at least: - removing all tabs - ensuring consistent indentation (Java 4 spaces; XML 4 or 2) I think these can be done with little or no adverse affect. Also, once those are done, re-inspect the code and see if is still too diverse. > Yours > Hugo > >
