code conventions

[Nathan Coast]

Hi,

I'm aware this is a bit of a dangerous email to start, but.......  Trying to 
establish the default setup for JRefactory and checksource to keep in line with 
the maven source code conventions.  I've found one contradiction to do with the 
location of braces.

The jakarta code convention doc says:
The Sun document specifies the de-facto standard way of formatting Java code. 
All code written for this project must follow these conventions.

Which standard should we follow?

Jakarta & Sun conventions or Turbine conventions.

If turbine, should we place the Jakarta / Sun standards as the values within 
maven.home/plugins/core/default.properties and override these properties in the 
jakarta-turbine-maven/project.properties?  In this way, the maven project keeps 
its standard whilst not enforcing the maven standard on projects using maven?
