Not sure I get this - you starting a vote with a -1?  This doesn't make any
sense.

My personal preference is for curly brackets (braces) to start on a new line
and that they be used even when only one statement is included (as per the
Turbine coding standards
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/common/code-standards.html) as this adds
greatly to readability and makes it easier (and less error prone) to add
statements in the future.

I am in the process of evaluating Eclipse as a replacement for IDEA.  The
latest version of IDEA allows you to define multiple coding standards and to
allocate these on a project basis, but the latest Eclipse milestone (2.2 M4)
only allows one coding standard to be defined (after a quick search I have
found a checkstyle plugin for eclipse that would appear to support project
specific configurations).

All in all, I am +0 on the coding standard we select, as long as one is
selected.

+0, but my preference is for spaces (consistent with every other project I
work on).
