Hi,
Recently I saw many patches with multiple code re-formatting.
When looking into it, we saw that many people didn't use the project
policy, and now we have many files with bad formatting.
So I just posted a big ugly fix for this[1], and hopefully if accepted
people should start using the right conventions and reduce the amount
of non-relevant changes we see in the patches.
I'm aware of the fact that this may create some issues when porting
patches, but better sooner than later.

Hi,
These automatic conversions are not better than current state, also I don't think that
this is that important. If you want machine written code, then also provide commit hook to
reformat anything, and probably machines to read it.
I, personally, think that this change over the sources I manage did not do any good.

Alon,
there's a formatting convention for the project set long ago.
If you feel it needs to be fixed, go ahead and suggest a fix for
the xml.
Otherwise we end up in the current chaos, where every 2nd or 3rd
patch carries unneeded changes.

Alon
Unneeded changes is when you get one line of code fixed due to a bug,
and many others re-indented.
Best prevention is if people would make sure to use the same conventions.
We also have a checkstyle which monitors important issues such as trailing
white spaces, localization, etc.

conventions.
We also have a checkstyle which monitors important issues such as
trailing
white spaces, localization, etc.
But how do you prevent this in future, not all working in same editor nor same styles.
You can say that once in a while you perform cross over auto re-format...
I am not native Java programmer but this sounds very strange thing to do, I don't
think I know of any project that does that.
The main problem is that people commit stuff they don't touch due to their editor
behavior, which tread the whole source as if it was at its disposal, while cation should
be taken not to modify extra stuff.
So maybe just to reject patches that touches lines which are not belong to the patch
it-self.

I'm fine with rejecting patches with irrelevant changes.
Still sometimes you get new files and this repeats itself.
The whole point of a convention is that people keep it.
Most major IDEs today can use the same formatting XML we now have.
So it's really a matter of self-discipline.

Most major IDEs today can use the same formatting XML we now have.
So it's really a matter of self-discipline.
OK, I suggest we start rejecting patches with irrelevant changes, and placing these
irrelevant changes in their own patch to be relevant.
I don't think that we can enforce XML formatting for all editors out there... unless
there is a cli utility to reformat before commit, or even do this at gerrit side, we
should be somewhat flexible.
But these are only my two cents.

OK, I suggest we start rejecting patches with irrelevant changes, and
placing these irrelevant changes in their own patch to be relevant.
I don't think that we can enforce XML formatting for all editors out
there... unless there is a cli utility to reformat before commit, or
even do this at gerrit side, we should be somewhat flexible.
But these are only my two cents.
Alon
Thanks to Ofri we can now both automate it and monitor it using
http://maven-java-formatter-plugin.googlecode.com/svn/site/0.3.1/examples....
We should be able to add it to the root pom and make sure it won't
happen again.

Thanks to Ofri we can now both automate it and monitor it using
http://maven-java-formatter-plugin.googlecode.com/svn/site/0.3.1/examples....
We should be able to add it to the root pom and make sure it won't
happen again.
From a quick look this plugin looks like formatted and not
format-validator, if this is the case it is less useful as we can't add
a jenkins job to monitor the expected formatting.
I think that we should clean the formatting (once again...) in our code
base only after we'll have a valid way to enforce it, otherwise we are
going to have the same thread every few months (we already had it twice
or more) and we all hate this massive formatting patches that comes
after the thread...

From a quick look this plugin looks like formatted and not
format-validator, if this is the case it is less useful as we can't
add
a jenkins job to monitor the expected formatting.
I think that we should clean the formatting (once again...) in our
code
base only after we'll have a valid way to enforce it, otherwise we
are
going to have the same thread every few months (we already had it
twice
or more) and we all hate this massive formatting patches that comes
after the thread...
Livnat
Livnat,
it's easy enough to have a Jenkins job running this plugin.
Then git status will tell you if something changed, and if so
you email the changes to patch owner (and nack the patch). We
had similar jobs in WPF era and it's quite simple to handle.
So I see no reason why not to start it now. The sooner we start,
less noise and unneeded code changes will be added.

Livnat,
it's easy enough to have a Jenkins job running this plugin.
Isn't Jenkins too late in the game for checks of incoming code? IIRC
there do exist pre-commit hooks for gerrit that run pylint/pyflakes on
python files, that should IMO be the very place to check Java coding
style, too.
David
Then git status will tell you if something changed, and if so
you email the changes to patch owner (and nack the patch). We
had similar jobs in WPF era and it's quite simple to handle.
So I see no reason why not to start it now. The sooner we start,
less noise and unneeded code changes will be added.

Isn't Jenkins too late in the game for checks of incoming code? IIRC
there do exist pre-commit hooks for gerrit that run pylint/pyflakes
on
python files, that should IMO be the very place to check Java coding
style, too.
if the jenkins jobs will run per gerrit patch and not per commit, (it's possible to
run it via jenkins, like run other jobs per patch).
then it's not too late, and less messy than defining specific hooks for it.
Eyal.

if the jenkins jobs will run per gerrit patch and not per commit,
(it's possible to run it via jenkins, like run other jobs per
patch).
then it's not too late, and less messy than defining specific hooks
for it.
Eyal.
Right, we actually had something similar in the past
while .NET was still around...

Sorry for (very) late response - what would be the price (i.e - build time) for running
this plugin while performing "mvn clean install" on ovirt-engine?
I know that sometimes people forget to run tests (which is bad) but I do believe (and hope
;) ) they do compile before send patches to gerrit.

Sorry for (very) late response - what would be the price (i.e - build
time) for running this plugin while performing "mvn clean install"

I know that sometimes people forget to run tests (which is bad) but I
do believe (and hope ;) ) they do compile before send patches to
gerrit.
