How do we feel about whitespace patches to java code? I've added "let java_space_errors=1" to my $HOME/.vimrc, so when I use vim, I see bad spaces highlighted in red. The things that get highlighed are trailing space or tab, lines that *only* contain space, and mixed space/tab at the beginning of a line.
Fix this is semi-automatic. Trailing space and only space are fixed with: == find -name '*.java' | xargs sed -i -e 's/\([^\s]\)\s\+$/\1/;s/^[\s]\+$//' == Finding files with mixed space/tab is done with: == (tab=$(printf '\t'); find -name '*.java' | xargs egrep "^( +$tab|$tab+ )" -l) == If given the ok, I'll start fixing this minor issue. However, it could cause conflicts with anyone else who has uncommitted changes. ps: The patch against framework/base to fix these issues is 260k in size, 981 insertions/deletions, and only deals with java files.
