Pierre,

I did not receive your message in dev ML, certainly due to my too much Thunderbird Filters or maybe something else, strange things happen with mails sometimes.

So it's here forwarded expurged from exchanges in members private ML with last 
line slightly modified.

Hi Pierre,

You missed the point. You confuse changes and history. The problem here is mixing formatting and code changes complicates the reviews, nothing more. I trust it's just laziness and you are not doing that on purpose. But I begin to seriously doubt.

In your point 3 reference I then gave my opinion. I notably said to to Michael:

<<I'd not advice to set a rule for that, else, in the absolute, we would have to 
change everywhere it's already not conform to the new rule >>

I thought you would be reasonable enough to understand it's more review work for committers. And would accept to change (I guess) your blank lines removing automated setting and rebuild few PRs.  It's a pity you preferred to escalate, exposing this problem to all members.

This said in the past, we already, a number of times, used regexps to globally change things in code. We could do that again and establish a new rule that would be covered by the build blocking checkstyle Gradle task, hence blocking PRs and commits with no blank lines in some part of code. Rarely but sometimes something must be done in code

I did not said I'll do that, it would take much time (tests and failures), just 
the kind of escalation that would seem more appropriate to me.

 I embrace "community over code" but sorry I don't think you are going in the 
right direction.

Jacques

            Indeed, Michael. That was what you said  in comments regarding:

             1. https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-framework/pull/481
             2. https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-framework/pull/482
             3. https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-framework/pull/483

            and now again in https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-framework/pull/498

            What is this RULE of yours that fellow volunteering contributors 
MUST comply with in order to have their improvements go into the codebase:

                Is


                it


                single


                line


                spacing,


            *or*


                Is


                ig


                double


                line


                spacing?


            It must surely feel very frustrating and annoying (even maybe 
painful?) when YOU look at code in the OFBiz repositories and the majority
            of that code not having the single or double line spacing that you 
want.
            How unfortunate that all those contributors of code improvements 
over the past 15 years of this project's existence (including you,
            contributing for as long as that, as your claimed elsewhere) 
violated that RULE of yours (that you brought forward just 11 days ago).

            If the code of OFBiz (and improvements thereon) give you so much 
difficulties to read, maybe there are some helpful tools available for
            you to continue to bring your valuable contributions to improve 
this project and its works? Or maybe it is time to call it quits?

                   As said before, the removal of blank lines between sections 
makes the files harder to read.
