I'm making a new tool, policytool (as my GSoC2008 project). Is there
a class template available for this or I can just use the format of

For example the copyright comments at the beginning of all classes?
(Aside: In line with ASF policy, they are license comments rather than a
copyright comments. Copyright details are in NOTICE files.)
Yep, just copy the standard header from any existing source file. It's
also given here [1].

There isn't a template. Try to use 4-character indentation and no tabs
and obviously include the header.
For code layout/formatting we generally use the Sun guidelines for Java
code. If you use Eclipse you can simply format it using the built-in
formatting rules with one modification, namely use four spaces instead
of one tab indentations.

For the org.apache.harmony.tools.policytool.Main class you
might want to start from one of the existing tools in the
working_jdktools/modules/tools/src/main/java/org/apache/harmony/tools
directory of the federated build.
