afaik there are no written rules about it. even if there were, they wouldn't be of a great use because the formatting is scattered all over the oj core source. therefor i generally hack with "show whitespace" characters and use the formatting the existing source file is in (tabs,2spaces,4spaces). sometimes i reformat a whole method to have it consistent in itself at least and very seldom a whole file and this only if there were enough changes to justify that. i am so careful because changing those makes the actual functional changes hard to distinguish in svn diffs and visual compares against svn. when free to choose i use "2 spaces indention" as this looks reliably identical on every platform and is easy to hack even in console editors (e..g. vi). ..ede ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
