Hi *, I've proposed an automated code formatting via Jira (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-103) - that means with each mvn run the sources are formatted based on a default formatter (attached to the issue as well).
Thus there are major changes when the plugin is enabled. Afterwards reformatting only applies to patches. The main goal of this is a cleaner readability of the code since some parts are formatted in C-style, others in Java-style, others in free style :-) I'd be happy to see a uniquely formatted code before the project leaves the incubator. Any objections/opinions? Yours Hugo
