Isn’t this checkstyle’s default? In general when I coded the first checkstyle.xml I tried to follow the default as much as possible since the checkstyle’s team has usually defined sensible defaults after comparing various projects.
Are you sure we’re checking this in checkstyle btw? I’m asking because I remember using it without spaces recently and checkstyle not complaining Otherwise I’m +0 to change it (where is it defined?).
