I'm just saying that even if I fully agree with this, this sudden 'guideline' is all of a 'sudden' and has never been part of the Ant guidelines which do not exist at all AFAIK. So I'm just wondering why this is suddenly emerging when there has been lengthy talk about how dead was the Ant 1.x code. I'm totally 150% OK for this but I'd would also like us to focus on having the code cleaned up to be homogeneous and respect the Jakarta coding lines especially considering braces, indentation and naming. There has been lengthy debate about this on general and commons about how anarchic was starting to be the code in Jakarta and even though in Ant a lot of code has been done by non-committers this does not prevent us from having severe guidelines and respect them. I think Stefan wanted to have severe guidelines about task submission and has been -1, so this is somewhat contradictory. Starting with severe guidelines at the beginning and maybe relax with time is exactly the same as put everything in private and everything final and relax when possible. No ? If we do this then we have to be more responsive about user willing to integrate Ant. For instance I think we did not take much in account the critics from Jeff McGuire about integrating Ant w/ Eclipse. For the sake of clarity and so that it is crystal-clear I will commit a document about these coding guidelines ASAP as a starting point. Comments ?
