Sorry to dig up this old thread. I'm working with the Phoenix source code for the first time in years and as Istvan said: The current codebase is not great in terms of consistency. It makes life for new contributors harder than it needs to be.
I actually checked and there are old Eclipse style files checked in. I can't load them in recent versions of IntelliJ and I suspect most people don't look at this at all.... Aman, can I ask about your plans on this? Do you plan on pushing this forward? If not, I might try to take over.
