Re: Coding Conventions?

+1 on waiting...
As to the general issue, I've been in favor of "respect the environment" 
in the past, but I could be convinced to go with a standard.  We should 
revisit this after ApacheCon (and once we're solidly past the alpha 
release).

Given the amount of code already written and its state, I favour a
"respect the environment" coding convention -- there's de facto
conventions in various parts of the codebase, and devs should follow the
conventions of the area they're contributing in.

I agree with Daryl, we've used the same philosophy for WSM so far.
Since the adoption of coding conventions at this point would 
complicate history diffs (and therefore merges, too), I, too, 
would like to suggest to postpone this until after ApacheCon. 
Let's talk about this after (or during) ApacheCon. Sound good?

NetUI hasn't decided that it wants a coding convention. We've 
never had one.  One person's "looks nice" is another persons "sucks".

I suggest we don't do this until after Apachecon because if 
we do it now it will significantly increase the difficulty of 
merging changes from one branch to the other.

Michael,
Since diff's are going to be problematic AND we want the 
     

code to look 
   

nice and consistent for ApacheCon....Shall i do it ASAP? If 
     

we do this 
   

once early in the project it's easier in the future (when 
     

folks really 
   

need to look at diff's carefully)

Hi Dims,
Thanks much for all the Axis-specific and non-Axis-specifc work 
you've put into the WSM project! It's much appreciated! :)

So far, we've not adopted Sun's coding conventions (I 
       

assume you're 
   

referring to 
       

http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/CodeConventions.pdf).
   

While I would generally not have a problem with reformatting the 
code, I would suggest to do this consistently for the entire 
Beehive-project (if controls and netUI haven't already 
       

done so). I 
   

would anticipate the major downside to be potential problems with 
diff'ing the history of files.

Cheers,

Are there any specific coding conventions to follow? would folks 
mind if i reformat (specifically the WSM module) to SUN coding 
specifications?

thanks,
