What I'm saying is that we need a written set of guidelines so that freshly contributed code wouldn't have to be constantly reformatted. A good sized set of example code files would go a long way towards this goal. If you agree with me on this, we could set up a Wiki page for contributors where all the necessary instructions and guidelines would go.
Now that you mention it recall that Maven had a pretty cool approach to this with a basic doc and then actual IDE config files for Eclipse and Intellij that people could just install. http://maven.apache.org/developers/conventions/code.html
We could do something like that. -David
