I have noticed some pretty odd formatting in the past, so anything that can
be done on this to improve code readability gets my vote.

Subject: [fcrepo-dev] Code style: arg indent wonkiness & proposal


Hi all, 

I've been meaning to ping the committers about this for a while...it's not a
major issue, but kind of an annoyance:

The Eclipse code formatting settings in resources/doc/devdocs/eclipse use an
indent style that often leads to really bizarre indentation when you run
Eclipse's auto-formatting tool.

It is configured to try to line up arguments requiring multiple lines like
so:

methodCall(arg1, 
           methodCall2(argA,
                       argB),
           arg3);


...but usually gets things wrong so that the formatting is really hard to
read. Try running auto-format on a moderate sized class file and you'll see
what I mean pretty quickly.


I'd like to propose that we switch to a simpler style:


methodCall(arg1, methodCall2(argA, 
        argB), arg3);


If there are no objections, I volunteer to update and check in the Eclipse
style settings.


- Chris
