[platform-ui-dev] Formatting Source Tree

[Douglas Pollock <douglas.pollock@xxxxxxxx>]

Platform UI is planning to reformat the source tree and organize the imports 
on every source file we own.  This was previously put off for several 
reasons, but I know of no reason why this can't go forward at this point.  If 
anyone knows a reason why this can't be done, please speak up now.

There are many reasons for wanting to do this.  Mainly, a majority prefer 
using the formatter tool on all code.  Older files, however, when formatted 
introduce large diffs.  Rather than reformat files individually, it was felt 
that a wholesale approach would be better.

The formatter settings being used are the defaults for Java Coding 
Conventions; the organize imports settings are also the defaults.

After this is done, please format and organize the imports on all code before 
committing.



cheers,
