IIUC we have a coding standard of a 4 space indent for all files

I think we could make life a lot easier when using maven tooling to
use a 2 space indent for xml and .vm and possibly other files. At
least with IDEA its easy to have different indents for java and xml
files.
Comments?
K. So, you're proposing that either 2 or 4 space indent is acceptable
for xml and .vm files? Or are you proposing that we'll update the
indent in all existing files to be 2 space?
Is this what you're proposing?
"Either 2 or 4 space indent may be used for .xml and .vm files. 2-
space indenting is preferred because that is the style generated by
maven. When editing an existing file, either follow the convention
already used in that file or convert it to use 2-space indent"
