Backspace? For un-indent? <know-it-all> Not needed within a good editor: Just Enter and } and your cursor is where it should be! </know-it-all> :-)
Hi "know-it-all," Yes, obviously that's true when you're first writing the code. I'm thinking in terms of maintenance. Also, not every editor is as smart for xml and jsp and ??? pages, so we've always standardized on an editor-neutral practice. However, it's obvious that the MyFaces developers already have their preference, and I have mine, so, as I said, it's just my two cents. ;-) - Brendan -----Original Message----- From: Manfred Geiler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2005 1:44 PM To: MyFaces Development Subject: Re: Coding Standards Reminder @Sean Yes, of course. No tabs. @Grant I must totally agree to your last sentence! ;-) @Brendan Backspace?
