I would like to discuss two point:
- Should Felix use only a Code Style or should rely on other project code style when the component created by Felix is used into other projects? For instance: should the Maven plugin maintained by Felix use the Maven code style or Felix code style?
I think that everything we develop in our repository should use the code style we defined. Using code styles of other projects seems more confusing to me.
Another issue, but that's not the discussion of this thread, is if we should maintain for example Maven plugins in the Felix project at all. We had the same discussion for the commons wrappers already. Eventually, I would like to donate those pieces of code to the respective projects.
But, back to this discussion...
- I know that Clement has create a Checksytle and a Eclipse formatter complaint to the Felix coding style. I think that we reserve a location in our repository for providing such file to developer and also try to keep it updated. It's worth to notice that the Checkstyle configuration file could be both by Maven and IDE.
The most important thing is to maintain a document that describes our code style. Everything else is optional in my opinion, since probably we all have different preferences when it comes to IDE's. That said, I do appreciate the fact that Clement has provided these files. I don't care if they're maintained in svn or the wiki however.
Greetings, Marcel
