I continue seeing it an imposition that can be avoided, since not everybody commits in each component. I switched across components and I just respected the original code format (well, not always true, because I reformatted Discovery and still regret for it) - that doesn't mean that style was always the same, since each component defined its own config (and often the exception rules) If a common style has to be applied to all commons components, IMHO a VOTE should be subjected to the PMC my 2 cents, best, -Simo http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/ http://simonetripodi.livejournal.com/ http://twitter.com/simonetripodi http://www.99soft.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
