[hibernate-dev] Sharing IDE code styles

[Gunnar Morling]

+1 for having the style(s) in Git.

There is another axis, though, which is the used IDE. So far we couldn't
find a way to make Eclipse and IntelliJ do exactly the same thing wrt.
formatting. There is just not the exact same set of options available in
both IDEs, so outputs will always differ a bit.

But I don't think it's a big problem as long no one re-formats entire files
just for the sake of it. And if explicit formatting changes are needed for
whatever reason, they should go in dedicated commits independently from
actual code changes. Reviewing is otherwise a pain.
