As ongoing penance for my regrettable past (really it is behind me...I hope...), I'd like to start cleaning up some of the code whenever I come across style issues. I'll follow the guidance of fixing whitespace in separate patches from content patches.

I found this:
https://poi.apache.org/resolutions/res001.html

That's 13 years old now, so much of it has been replaced / overriden. We probably want to make that clear at the top? Patches / commits for that welcome!

and this:
https://poi.apache.org/guidelines.html#CodeStyle

That's the one we should be all using now. If there's any gaps in what it says, we should agree + add them!

Basic questions:
1) spaces are we aiming for four spaces?
2) brace spacing, I'm assuming ) {  ..with one space and not put into next line.
3) new lines: lf
4) don't use wildcards on imports

5) Import order:
static
NEWLINE
java
NEWLINE
javax
NEWLINE
Everything else

Probably... Looks roughly right at a first glance... Best check https://poi.apache.org/guidelines.html#CodeStyle and flag up any not clear! :)

This about right?  Other issues/points?

I believe that the eclipse project settings should be getting most of these for eclipse users. If we spot anything wrong / agree any changes, we should update them. If an Idea user wants to contribute some matching project files for that, they'd be great too, provided they match!
