Hello

In order to provide code with least difference, are there any coding guidelines concerning where paranthesis are supposed to be placed, whether to use tabs or space, etc.? I tried to define an Eclipse formatter configuration, that does least "damage" to existing classes. But among the classes, paranthesis are placed different, indention is made with tabs or spaces, has the size of 2 or 4, line wrapping is different, etc., so formtatting a class with my formatter almost always ends up in many differences.

Alas we've not had a standard in a while, so different people have done different things. I'm tempted to say that we should go for the same code layout that Tika uses, since there's overlap in the committership and code, and it's a fairly standard one. Does anyone have strong opinions either way?

Searching on http://tika.apache.org/, I couldn't find a code format definition document or rule file anywhere. Could you provide the code formatter settings or a link where to find them?

Thanks and kind regards,
Stefan Stern
