AFAIK the only agreed upon Commons convention is NO TABS! There are some other conventions here (not just formatting): https://wiki.apache.org/commons/CodeStyle If there is no documented convention, use the same convention as the code you are changing. Whilst this is not very 'tidy', it's better than multiple changes to files just to change format. Such changes make it hard to review commit emails and mess up historic comparisons as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
