[Geotools-devel] Please never run automatic formatting tools in coverage module

[Martin D. <mar...@ge...>]

Automatic formatting tools do not deserve the "beautifier" name. They are
actually "averager": they improve ugly code, and turn code that was already
formatted into something more difficult to read.

Also I would prefer to avoid tabulations for indentation in coverage module.
Please use spaces instead. Obviously some developpers have configured their IDE
for 4 spaces per tabulation. My IDE is 8 spaces as most non-developper editors,
and also as required by Sun's Java coding convention:
http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConventions.doc3.html#262

Of course we can choose to depart from Sun's coding convention, but we would
need a project-wide policy (there is already other departures) and I don't
remember that we have one regarding tabulations... In the main time, spaces
instead of tabulations is more universal.
