I don't understand why there isn't a feature in Eclipse that formats the code exactly how *YOU* want it. When you open up someone else's code it should just auto-format to how you prefer. You can make changes to the code, and when another coder opens it up, it formats it according to their preferences. It could even save it back into the "generic" format so it doesn't screw around with version control.
Maybe this exists already?? I prefer hugging curly braces, FWIW.

It's always bothered me...
