Perhaps a package.html doc could be a requirement, but that's covered
elsewhere.

I couldn't find anything that would format to this:
public void foo(String bar,
String baz)
throws Exception
{
..
}
GNU indent does the args, but stuffs up the 'throws'. Vim indent does
the opposite. If someone knows of an indenter that can do this, I can
test integration with CVS here at work (we run an identical CVSROOT to
apache).
