Re: [jgit-dev] auto-formatting source code ?

I think it makes sense to validate the formatting in the CI, but you
don't need to switch to a different code formatting standard for that.
There is the "formatter-maven-plugin" which integrates Eclipse's
formatter in Maven. You can use it both to validate compliance with the
format and to reformat automatically.

I am tired of discussing source code formatting and some JGit
contributors don't use Eclipse IDE hence they have a hard time getting
formatting right since we currently use the Eclipse auto-formatter.

Hence I propose we adopt the approach the Gerrit project is using and
switch from Eclipse auto-formatter to google-java-format [1] and add a
Gerrit submit rule and a label "CodeStyle" which the CI can vote on to
block changes which weren't properly auto-formatted using
google-java-format.

WDYT ?
