[hibernate-dev] Code style and whitespaces

[Steve Ebersole]

Well you assume it is consistent, which I agree is the important point it
determining whether to make this a rule.  So let's examine that...

Would you also agree that this is better:

private void doIt (String it) { ... }

than:

private void doIt ( String it ) { ... }

?

Which ruleset should catch statements belong?
