The Commons project is the legal entity that binds people with similar interest in creating reusable components. This group of people involves some who work on lots of components and may strive for more standardization and others who are mostly interested in one component and don't see any benefit in changing the placement of braces in "their" component just because people who never worked on "their" component liked a different style better. Realistically there is far less cross polination between components than you may expect. Things lice BCEL or Weaver need people who are familiar with Java byte code. The Math components require a deeper understanding of certain mathematical concepts than many coders have. Crypto, Compress and others attract people with certain interests. > Some regular contributors (or ancient contributors for > old/mature components) will veto touching the code > just for the sake of standardization. That group likely includes me. Well, argue against not veto, actually. >> For example, we might start from trying to use a same code style >> formatter. If you really want to discuss this we should split out a different thread rather than polluting this one. It would probably lead to an exchange of arguments and an agreement to disagree.
