The reformat plugin I proposed allows individual committers to use whatever IDE and have whatever settings enabled to format the code. Upon pushing a change one would run a regular 'mvn install' to verify that changes did not break anything. During that phase the plugin reformats the sources so that they comply with the settings that are totally free to decide upon the project. These settings are just checked in with the project. Thus one would gain much more freedom in committing to various projects with different "religions" about file formatting. I just thought of that since I saw various different styles being applied depending on the IDE in use. This plugin would allow to have a common code format - it does no checking of rules and does not mark the code. It is a plain reformat. Feel free to play around with the plugin to see what it does :-) I'd propose to instantiate such a plugin when the project is small, since I've seen other Apache projects starting 'flame wars' about that. IMHO there's no global Apache standard way of formatting sources ... Thanks, Phil
