Harvey, There is no point doing coding style cleanups as these can be done automatically by tools. We decided a little while ago to adopt the sun coding conventions, but most of the code doesn't follow these yet.
In terms of the namespaces, the reason for keeping the com.vividsolutions namespace is that external plugins are developed against that so we don't want to break compatibility unless there is a good reason. Anything we do to extend jump however should be done in the org.openjump namespace. In terms of getting used to the code base, what I recommend is start righting some of your own plugins for things you would like to see in jump (do this in your own namespace) and then make them available for others to try out, if enough people like it and it's a useful function then eventually it may get into the core org.open jump. (this is how I'm approaching things) Have a look at the Feature, Plugin and Extension interfaces, this will show you the main concepts in the ump platform. Happy coding.
