AS FOR STYLE, I THINK ALL UNNECESSARY
WHITESPACE SHOULD BE BANNED AND TABS
MADE ILLEGAL, THEY JUST INCREASE
FILE SIZE TOO MUCH AND MY COMMODORE
64 JUST CAN'T HANDLE SOME OF THOSE
LARGE SOURCE FILES ALL IN ONE GO.

PLEASE WRITE YOUR JAVA LIKE THIS:

public class Foobar{private String
NAME;public void Foobar(){}public
String getName(){return this.NAME;
public void setName(String NAME){
this.NAME=NAME;}

Although meant in jest, I'm stuck on a relatively slow link and
anything that reduces the amount of needless code downloaded the
better in my opinion.  I know most people have uber-fast DSL
connections etc, but many people in the developing world don't, and
having 400K of extraneous whitespace that must be downloaded to check
out the source to a project is annoying :)

I have no problem with whitespace that is used to make code readable,
I do have a problem with needless newlines tacked on the end of every
single damn source file, and trailing spaces at the end of every if ()
{ block because it was cut'n'pasted from somewhere.

Anyway
my 2c
Kev
