Hi,

There were a few objections to this, so I’m holding off on it for now.  

Specifically, some questions arose about comment formatting, bracket placement in conditional statements, etc.

I’ll export the proposed formatting settings to XML, and then they can be imported into Eclipse.

That way everyone can try them out before I modify all the code and provide suggestions etc.

Hope that works.
