I appreciate the thoughts. Many new projects use standard Java code style, requiring the only setting of spaces for tab. Converting isn’t easy (as for now we have so many tasks to handle with), and we also might wish to avoid mess in the new project.

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.

This code base uses a different code format than the one we are using (they are using a Java standard code format). As much as I like our code format, as this is a separate code base, I wonder if it makes sense to change all the code base. I'd like to start a discussion here about it. What's the pros and cons about keeping the current formatting vs changing it to what we use ? Feel free to participate !
