I noticed Thilo checked in a file (SofaTest) that showed as having many changes in it, mostly I think due to having been reformatted in Eclipse with Source -> Format. This makes it hard to see what actually changed.
What should we do about this? Could we agree on a common code style, and maybe even post an Eclipse code style preference file on the website, so that at least developers who use Eclipse can share it? I know that some of our code is inconsistently formatted currently, since different developers have used different conventions, sometimes even within the same source file. So the codebase would probably benefit from being completely run through the Eclipse reformatter. Of course we'd have to agree on the style to use. Personally I like two space indents, a complete ban on the use of tabs, and each open brace on a line by itself. -Adam
