    We are going to have many developers, each of them with individual coding style! For this reason we have to discuss coding conventions and/or talk about source code formatters. You may think that is an unimportant thread but I think its fundamental for our project and necessary for an
    effective teamwork.
    Think about it!

      Eclipse 3.0 has a very considerable built-in code formatter. There is no need for an extra plugin if
      everybody is using the same settings.
      Anyway, whats the benefit using such a tool?

      Yep! Eclipse 3.0 has a built-in code formatter but there is no posibility to 'force' the developers using the same settings instead of their individual ones.
      Code has to be formatted in a central instance (someone is responsable ;-).
      Therfore I think we should/have to use such a tool.

      Well, I recognized what you are talking about! After visiting jalopy homepage i think its a powerful plugin with plenty of options (over 300 distinct configuration options!!!!). We should evaluate it!

      ==> Check plugin evaluation forum

      Keep it up! I am going to look for other formatting tools. I think it makes no sense to use the first tool that comes along ;-)
      Is anybody knowing about formatting plugins?

      ?!?!??!? Look at the following url:

      http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/displayarticle193.html

      The plugin is not for free! One Single-User license starts at USD $40. Therefore we cant use that plugin in our project.

      Hm.., very strange!
      I visited http://jalopy.sourceforge.net/ and there you can read that it is released under BSD license.
      Also the developer is different?!?
      Well, just take the one I found at Sourceforge.net and we wont get a problem ;-)

      I just wanted to mention that there is already a thread about source code formatting & jalopy in the quality assurance forum, just to make sure that you possibly look at this thread too.
      But I agree with the fact that source code formatting is important and would also say that it should be evaluated.
