Hi @semancik, the Apache standard can be overridden on a group-by-group
basis, but the global standards are as follows:
- 4 spaces for each indent, no tabs
- braces in this style:
if {
} else {
}
- single space after commas in functions
- no spaces after or before parens, e.g. "( 1, 2 )"
This project's checkstyle is pretty rigorous but does not enforce all of
the Apache standards.
It is indeed a challenge to work with, but is pretty self-explanatory when
it finds a problem.
More importantly, it's just simply impossible to read diffs that include
global reformatting. I therefore discourage people from reformatting as a
matter of course because it does make unnecessarily hard to evaluate
submissions. I'm not sure why you felt it necessary to *change* the style that
was in place, but I have plodded through the diff, as it is, and if others
agree it's acceptable in the current form, I will defer to that.
