[Joelib-devel] Source code formatting and TODO tags

[Joerg K. W. <we...@in...>]

Hi,

for avoiding CVS diff complications i recommend to use the same source 
code formatter for all source code files.

1. I use eclipse, eventually we can also use another tool as ant task, 
but i would still prefer eclipse, e.g. for formatting also impoerts and 
the good wraning and error styles when editing.

2. for all comments i recommend
    // TODO: my question or todo tag

because eclipse shows nice blue targets in the editor for these tags.
and not:
    // QUESTION
    // ???
    // XXX

Link: http://www.eclipse.org/

Eclipse-formatter preferences to use:
New Lines: (x) insert before opening brace
            (x) insert in control statements
            ( ) clear blank lines
            ( ) insert new line between else-if
            (x) insert inside empty block

Line Splitting: 80

Style: ( ) Compact assignment
        (x) Insert space after cast
        (x) Insert tabs, not spaces
         space identation level: 4

So if you want to use your own formatter, please use analogue options.

Regards, Joerg
