I will admit, I still have trouble using the ApacheDS code style. I prefer standard java code style. That said, consistency across a project is pretty important. Especially for new contributors. Plus, java autoformatters are pretty good. I use eclipse to do so on all my personal projects and have encountered very few issues with that. However, as I understand it, kerberos is only intended to be a subproject for a short time and then transitioned to a top level project. If that is the case, I am fine leaving it alone. Otherwise, i think we should convert.
