Let's see how this one pans out ;) This came up during the code review of the CordovaWebView stuff for Android. Our style guide [1] specifies to follow the Eclipse Coding Conventions, which point to standards set out by Sun, which of course now points to an Oracle web site.
The Sun standards say [2] about indentation: ---- 4 - Indentation Four spaces should be used as the unit of indentation. The exact construction of the indentation (spaces vs. tabs) is unspecified. Tabs must be set exactly every 8 spaces (not 4). ---- So my question is: tabs or spaces in Java code? My vote: spaces. Let your voice be heard.
