Re: [PATCH] Normalization of Java sources

I have a filter in emacs for tabs to keep the OpenJDK files in

the rules against it and no existing consistency in the sources.


I use emacs too, and indent-tabs-mode = nil only affects code that you
actually touch.

In retrospect, it probably wasn't the best idea, but we should at least
match gcj's Classpath sources to Classpath now, so that future merges
aren't obliterated by whitespace diffs.

Yes, it's too late to change now.
