I haven't reformatted the code on purpose. I was fighting with checkstyle,
which got incredibly annoying during the development. I have wasted a lot of
time with that. So I have applied IDE autoformatting with my Apache settings.
As that fixed the checkstyle I haven't explored any further. As I haven't seen
any explicit statement about code conventions on the site I have assumed that
I'm doing the right thing. Honestly, I haven't thought for a second that there
may be several incompatible code conventions in Apache Foundation. OK, now I
know. One learns every day, obviously. Anyway, the code is here. If you feel
like reformatting then please go ahead. But I won't do it. I do not think that
it is fair to expect people to follow rules that the project does not even
bother to state (or that cannot be found on the website even if I specifically
look for it).
