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

[Rod J. <rod...@in...>]

Yes, Juergen's the one responsible :-)

I would prefer to keep tabs. I know I'm in a minority, but I hate spaces.
Also if we switch wouldn't it would break all revision history comparison=
s.
But certainly there are a few files untidy, with very long lines.

I'm not a big fan of parameter alignment in general.

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 size=
s,
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 =
;-)

I was looking at DefaultXmlBeanDefinitionParser, and it's clear that
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
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
need to be simply one or more tabs farther in than the line before it.
If you format lines so that you use hard tabs to line up with some
non-tab text in a line above, this will completely mess up for other
people using different tab settings. Ditto with adding some real spaces
(with or without tabs) at the beginning of the line. Essentially _all_
indentation has to be based only on tabs.
