I have been looking over the code the past week (mostly me getting familiarized with the project), I did not notice that the coding standards are more in line with what Eclipse enforces (which is barely anything).
I think all committers should be using IntelliJ for coding, u get an Apache committer's license from Jetbrains for the Ultimate edition of IntelliJ - <goog_1576328420> https://www.jetbrains.com/shop/eform/apache?product=ALL The coding standards are pretty standard across most Apache Java projects - we could follow NiFi on this. Also what would be the minimal supported JDK for Pirk ? We shuld baseline at Java >= 7 IMO.
