formatting files with eclipse

[Brassrat]

Does anyone have a coding template or should i just use eclipse's
default?

would anyone mind if files are re-formated by eclipse?

I have decided after many years that when multiple people work on the
same file its better that there is a single IDE-supported/computed
format for files.

I don't care (very much, but am prepared to offer an opinion) what
that format is (i.e., opening brace on the same line or not, opening
brace indented or not, etc, etc., etc.), just that there is one. So
where i am working now we have a single eclipse code template which
people use and people are responsible for checking in files that have
been formated using this template. This means that anyone is free at
any time to 're-format' all files and update the source repository -
theoretically, if everyone has followed the rules, such 're-
formatting' should be a no-op ...but sometimes people forget.

Sometimes eclipse's formatter doesn't do what someone might
prefer...but its consistent from run-to-run. This minimizes 'false'
changes when comparing different versions of files.

yes, I guess everyone has their own and tries to more or less keep the
format of the file in which they are changing. So when you're starting
a new file, knock yourself out

Don't start changing code just for formatting. And don't format and
change code at the same time.... I have an itching feel to do a SVN
rollback if people do the latter.

Regards,
Sven
