[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1363?page=all ]
Kathey Marsden updated DERBY-1363:
----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 10.2.0.0
Setting this to fix version 10.2 as a high value fix candidate. This issue
has hit virtually every new developer that has joined the project and already
cost many developer and reviewer hours. Francois calls it an infection and I
think this is true. As we get more and more developers in just wanting to fix
their bug and move on it will become more and more of an issue, not to mention
that our current state puts is in violation of the db project guidelines.
My vote, document and adopt the client code format moving forward, only because
a large chunk of code is that way already and we get rid of the tabs, but of
course I would defer to the brave soul willing to take this on.

> The DB project guidlines dictate that we should have a well defined
> convention for coding standards.
> http://db.apache.org/source.html says
> "Java Language source code in the repository must be written in conformance
> to the " Code Conventions for the Java Programming Language as published by
> Sun, or in conformance with another well-defined convention specified by the
> subproject. See the FAQ page for links to subproject conventions."
> We should publish at least a well defined convention for new code in order to
> comply with the db project guidlines.
> Discussion for whether to reformat or not once that is decided is under
> discussion in the thread:
> http://www.nabble.com/Code+formatting+debate%2C+confusion+and+wasted+time+%2C+Has+it+gone+on+long+enough--t1710825.html
> but at least the coding standards should be defined.
