Just to be clear: - I'd prefer never to have trailing spaces - I'm ok to accept that due to some IDE limitation we accept trailing spaces in empty javadoc lines - I don't want it to be enforced since I'm using a proper IDE and I don't want to have to refactor my code before committing it Thanks -Vincent _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
