That was sure one of the reasons to keep the files under version control. I 
don't think we are actually doing it though. There are no per-project 
formatting settings in our Eclipse profiles IIRC. The problem is also that 
there are different versions of Eclipse. And then there are people using IDEA 
(I have at least 2 in my office alone :)). So this seems like a losing battle. 
Something IDE-agnostic like checkstyle is probably more appropriate for this.
