Re: [Thinlet-development] Upcoming source code reformat.

[Stephen C. <sco...@bt...>]

Commons uses 4 spaces for all indents.

Line length is typically 80 characters, but allowing longer line to extend
to 120 characters.

The commons style is generally follow Sun coding style, brackets at end of
line etc.

if (a < b) {
    // do stuff
} else {
    // do other stuff
}

There is no commons coding standards guide itself, just common practices,
which I've tried to summarise above. The main thing is to go with the Sun
Java defaults (and thus IDE and Java OSS) as much as possible.

So, +1 to the reformat ;-)
