Re: [ee4j-community] EE4J code conventions?
What about setting a convention and plugin for spec implementation approval?

Each project is free to do their code as they want, but once they submit it to the Jakarta EE Spec WG for compliance certification, we could ask them for the code to be follow a certain convention.

This would not be a trivial task for the project, but would allow both their autonomy on creation, and give us a more homogeneous code base at the umbrella project level.
Also, while still not trivial, the use of plugins to reformat the code as needed would make this task doable

+1, Dmitry.  Coding conventions should be a project-specific requirement, not an EE4J requirement.  EE4J could possibly recommend some coding conventions, but the requirements should be left up to each individual project.

While the goal is to have code conventions, and having them at the project level is definitely better than having none at all, I do wonder why we would even want different conventions per project?

 Because Eclipse Foundation open source projects are self-governing meritocracies, and we don't tell them what to do. Ultimately, it is the committers who would need to do the work, and I don't think any of us get to tell them how to spend their time.

I'm not saying that this is an unreasonable idea. But generally speaking open source projects don't respond well to being ordered about. Ivar has already said that he'll raise it with the PMC. Let's wait and see how that plays out.
