I did not see any place and in fact java.lang.Boolean does not use this style. http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/root/jdk/openjdk/6-b14/java/lang/Boolean.java/?v=source > > If it's not in the javadoc then I don't agree that we should add trailing > white spaces just because Eclipse doesn't support it or something like that. My only position is that I want something written down. If we can't agree in favor of whitespace and we can't agree against whitespace then I suppose the default must be "do what you want". > > IDEA doesn't seem to add those spaces. > > Thanks > -Vincent > > _______________________________________________ > devs mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs > _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
