I'm reformatting the code generator to conform to the checkstyle rules introduces, but I have found a few problems. In particular, it looks like there are some inconsistencies between what the formatting does and what checkstyle approves. For example, I have an enum with several entries which is formatted in two lines, but checkstyle complains that the first line is too long.
There are other problems as well. I consistently run into a warning saying that only one return statement is allowed per method. This feels quite stringent.
Or the requirement that every attribute has a javadoc.
I was wondering if we could relax some of these rules.
I see that the the checkstyle rules are in releng/oeprt.oomph/checkstyle. But what if we wanted to change some of the formatting rules? Would we have to change every single .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs file?
(I'd like to be able to write each enum entry in a separate line without checkstyle complaining and without the autoformat putting them in one line.)
