My personal preference is that the new code formatting were more or less consistent with the rest of the file. I *do not* care where operator is on that line. If it is readable, it is fine with me. I see no value in bothering about it besides some aesthetics. (It makes no difference in Java. Though in Javascript placing operator at the end of the line is preferred, because of implicit ';' that can otherwise split the line in two). Trying to enforce a style here goes nowhere: such changes cannot be backported to TC6, and you cannot limit checkstyle to check only files created after certain date. 2010/12/7 Caldarale, Charles R <chuck.caldar...@unisys.com>: > Strongly agree.

It just wastes space and becomes ugly.
