But take care about the following points

        • All public classes and methods should have informative Javadoc 
comments. http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/writingdoccomments/
        • Code should be formatted according to Sun's conventions 
(http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/), with one exception:
                • indent two spaces per level, not four.
        • Contributions should pass existing unit tests.
        • New unit tests (http://www.junit.org/) should be provided to 
demonstrate bugs and fixes.

So you only have to set the formatting style go:  Java Convention and use 2 
spaces instead of tabs.

After doing this you can create a JIRA issue and attach the formatter.xml for 
everybody else to use.
