+1 for 160 0 for 120 -1 for 80, 80 with modern monitors is way to few, the problem stems from the 80s where 80 characters was the terminal norm.

Hi, -1. In my opinion 160 characters is much to wide, the current 120 is not the preferred, but the allowed max width. I vote for 80 characters as preferred max width. In general reading is easier if the text is not too wide, thats why newspaper articles are layouted in columns. Regards, Volker 2011/10/26 Mark Struberg<[email protected]>:Hi! Currently we have really long and very descriptive variable names in MyFaces. I personally like that, but due to that we are really often exceeding the 120 character per line. Thus my question: should we extend this from 120 to 160 characters being allowed per line? [+1] yup make 160 the max default [0] don't care [-1] nope, let's stick with 120 open for 72h ... Please make use of your vote, because I will activate the checkstyle checks soon ;) here is my +1. LieGrue, strub
