Sorry, I thought I saw longer lines in other places, too. BTW, at the age of 52 years I am very much aware of the historic roots of the 80 character limit. But I am also aware of the fact that next to no developer, not even old guys like us, work with 80 character terminals anymore. Even in vi or Nano, usually I work with way more characters per line, unless I need to work in a Linux root terminal. But there, I do not write programs but maybe edit some config file, if my Linux kernel refuses to boot. but even then, I can scroll horizontally. I think, us older semesters should not impose an 80 character limit on younger developers just because of the good old days. 120 characters is widely accepted in many OSS projects and still narrow enough fore me to fit more characters and a few tool windows on screen in my IDE. Besides, I was not reformatting the Java code, just a handful of POMs. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
