Re: [Springframework-developer] Formatting in the face of tab usage

[<jue...@we...>]

I see, you refer to the parameter aligning in new lines, which I do have =
set in my IDEA code style. That's indeed messing up things for other tab =
sizes, when usign hard tabs.

So we should probably not use parameter aligning as long as we stay with =
hard tabs then... But it just looks nicer, IMO - if the tab size matches =
;-)

Subject: [Springframework-developer] Formatting in the face of tab usage


I was looking at DefaultXmlBeanDefinitionParser, and it's clear that=20
whoever formatted it (Juergen I guess) is using an editor with hard tabs =

set to 2 characters (not the more common 4 or 8). I say this because for =

some method calls, the continuation line lines up method args, but only=20
if tabs are set to 2. If they are 4 or 8, the continuation line is _way_ =

over to the right.

While I'm not a big fan of hard tabs, as per our discussion last fall, I =

can live with them. But what this means is that any continuation lines=20
need to be simply one or more tabs farther in than the line before it.=20
If you format lines so that you use hard tabs to line up with some=20
non-tab text in a line above, this will completely mess up for other=20
people using different tab settings. Ditto with adding some real spaces=20
(with or without tabs) at the beginning of the line. Essentially _all_=20
indentation has to be based only on tabs.
