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. Martin |
