That's all good. If you were to use some specific template (and I think that, at some point, this is necessary), then you would have to create the formatting for IDE used by the team, and describe what has been changed from sun's standard. Typically, but this is more about template than formatting, being able to create a class with the ASF header automatically injecteed, plus the @author tag created, that's a way to remain consistent and will make Rat happy. Then, inject those templates into subversion (here, this is a different matter than the .project or .classpath, as it's not something any build tool can generate).
