+1
(with the grumble that switching between tabs and spaces is onerous,
especially in my IDE where I just can't tell the difference. But I
recognize we'll be addressing that later)

This is a vote to define the coding conventions for the Derby project
per the db project guidelines http://db.apache.org/source.html
Vote closes 10:00am, Wednesday, August 15.
[+1] Adopt the coding convention described.
[-1 ] Do not adopt the coding convention described.
The conventions outlined below will be published on the wiki page
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyContributorChecklist
Derby uses the "Code Conventions for the Java Programming Language"
(http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConvTOC.doc.html) with these
amendments:
- space indentation (no tabs).
- Derby does not discourage deferring variable declaration to the first
use.
- Lines should be limited to 80 characters
- @author tags should not be used at all
Note: There is a great deal of existing code that does not match this
convention. Changes to existing code should match the surrounding code
for readability, matching tabs or spaces as appropriate (see Tabs) .
Patches should not have white space diffs. Code and diffs should be
readable in context.
