Sure, I agree on you on that

But does that mean that you should not use spaces. Does it become less readable to use 'catch ( IllegalArgumentException e )' instead of 'catch (IllegalArgumentException e)'?
As Gunnar is saying, for consistency reason it would make sense to apply spaces in this case as well.
