No, it's not. The rules you propose here are stricter. You say:

[*]
trim_trailing_whitespace = true


but there is not nor have ever been such a rule for all text files in the JDK 
repo. This would trigger an enormous amount of spurious changes. In contrast, 
my suggested PR applies this only to the subset of files where we do in fact 
have a rule of no trailing whitespaces.

jcheck is run automatically by the Skara bots on all PRs. If jcheck reports an 
error (that is, a violation of enforced style rules), the PR will not be 
possible to integrate. 

Users can also run jcheck locally using the `git skara jcheck` command, if they 
have the Skara git tools installed.
